Fall Poetry Edition

"Fall Is Here"

By Paige Glenn

The wind howls

The sun shines

The leaves fall

The flowers sleep

The birds fly south

From autumn’s call

Summer has ended

A new season begins

A chilly welcome to all.

   "Lovely'' 

By Kailee Meyer

The sky rose with looming animosity 

And black skies fell on my black eyes

Raindrops drop like falling ballerinas

Gracefully connecting with other dancers

To make their last chasse` until they crash onto the earth 

The cracks in the sidewalk match the 

Cracks in my lips

We both clutch onto the gravel begging

For one taste of Earth’s tears 

And when they come, I drag my sandpaper tongue along 

Their sweet tasteless relief and pray

For another rainy day  

''Work of a Summer’s Day'' 

By Kailee Meyer

Darkened skin, stinging eyes, salty sweat.
Sticky skin.
Flipping tops of cold soda pops unleashing sweetened bubbles, sweetened tingles and sugary tongues.
Frozen teeth, and frozen throats.
Leather seats who've seen memories.
Windows open. Hair blowing. Music echoing.
Echoing through bodies and echoing through brains.
Sandy feet. Dandy days.
Our presence is but dented footprints in the sand left for another summer’s day.

                       "She"

By Mike Porch

          She is the rainbow on the dark rainy storm.

          She is the smile for every tear.

          She is the blessing in every trial.

          She is the faithful friend when life sends me tests.

          She is the song to every sigh.

          She is the answer to my prayers.

          She is everything to me; life, heart, and soul.

         

"My Love, Miranda"

By Mike Porch

 

        In the depths of winter I found a warmth no man would know.

       For I was led from the darkness by a pair of baby blue eyes.

        An intoxicating smile that could make a pit in my stomach.

                             And that mesmerizing laugh that could melt a heart of stone.

                               I prayed to the heavens for a sign and was sent an angel.

                                      The shattered pieces of a once broken heart were now whole again.

                                    This angel has saved my heart and soul.

                                        She is an angel of virtue, whose beauty transcends that of Aphrodite herself.

                                   She is the northern star who guides me home,

                                                                                    And because of her I shall never be alone.
