  • Whispers of Rain – Liv Wilkinson

    Let it pour, let it fall I will soak it up all in one  Each drop from natures gift Carrying a secret from her sky Telling tales as they drop by Kissing the earth with tender care A quenching thirst, a love affair In every drop, a story not told As they fall, a tale…

  • Alone in April – Grace Kasanos

    I miss the sand  The vastness of the land I wouldn’t think you’d understand   Never meant to be tamed  Feeling ashamed of my mind Thoughts that can’t be explained  The blackest sheep in the herd My words never understood Forever wishing you could Trying to find the right thing Is this just another fling Will…

  • LOL – Grace Kasanos

    I’ve used all of my juice I am a nub of chalk A dried up marker I live among piles of clothes  The weight of my guilt pressing down on my chest I look out the glass to the moon I wonder if I will see you soon I remember being small, up on my…

  • The impact of you – Grace Kasanos

    Slow from the start, talking in halls and bathroom stalls.  May preludes the summer days, abandoned in a haze. Summer breeze, shaded by the trees. Picnics in the park and sidewalk chalk. School begins again, and I need a friend. I felt so alone until the sun had shone.   Your spirit has warmed my soul.…

  • Number One by: Ricky J.Roc

    Colonies of ants-burying the dead Gaggles of geese-fly further together Schools of fish-follow their neighbors Swarms of bees-pollinating flowers Packs of wolves-howling at the moon Herds of elephants-marching trunk to tail Pods of whales-speaking through their songs Gangs of people: Singing and dancing Screaming and crying Hugging and kissing I think that it is cool…

  • “growing without” by Grace Kasanos

    Personal growth is hard I’m still angry  I’m still sad How could you be so dumb I cannot grow without  How can I reach the milestones of life without you by my side I see your face when I am on a drive, I try not to cry  How can grow when you aren’t here…

  • “Personal Growth” by Grace Kasanos

    Personal Growth  Personal growth is starting to wash your dishes right after you are finished with them personal growth is grabbing more toilet paper when you notice it is running low personal growth is getting out of bed long enough to take a shower personal growth is eating even when it feels like its gonna…

  • “The Summer Sun” by Grace Kasanos

    Summer time is near and it’s my body fear Lumps and bumps, rolls and more I can’t stand to bare Why is there hair , why am I here, why does my skin stay fair. This life is unfair.  Skin and bones i wish i didn’t feel as heavy as stone I know i know…

  • Our Story by Grace Kasanos

    Cupcakes Burns Bandaids Monday Tuesday forever and always First times and small lies Sneaking out and running wild Forever smiles /. For a while we were never apart  Moving states   Thought it would be the hardest part  Far apart but still in touch I flew to you in hopes to cure my autumn flush  Late…
