Found

Sophia Cembala, 9

She is found in the garden ​That overlooks the sea. ​Serene in passing, she is finally free. ​Below the ground, her roots are deep. ​Underneath willows, she’ll forever sleep. ​Between flowers, ​And by peonies white. ​She lays still, and outside of sight. ​Hence time moves on, ​As well as seasons change. ​Her forms indifferent, she has stayed the ​same.

She may be gone, but as far as I know ​she’ll never truly fade. ​Since she’ll always be in peace, lying in ​the garden's shade. ​Now near autumn, ​As days become shorter. ​Her petals crumble, and above willows ​cry. ​After fall, the world will soon move on ​and nature will resupply. ​Except now she’s forever still, where she ​was left to die.

A New Voice Crying Out

Adam Nawrocki, 11

The Salem witch trials, ​Unfair as you may know ​No one defended ​Those witches that were accused, ​Accused for one reason or another ​Suspicion, avarice, or disdain ​for those who would be accused

Odd, weird behavior, or a general distaste ​Lots of reasons given for a trial ​A trial with no real case ​Even still, truth was hard to reach ​As all the puritans of the village, ​Were quite insistent on this waste ​Most would often preach, ​“A witch is around!” ​The sheer level of gullible, ​Might even be able to astound

Many possible reasons, ​For this mass hysteria ​Maybe something in the area, ​Something growing, ​At just the right time, ​A time for avarice, ​A time for new malice

Or Maybe because others would listen- ​Listen to those who had no voice- ​Had no voice because their voice was taken- ​Taken by those who gave them their new voice- ​A new voice that now yells… ​“She is a witch!”

don’t ask, just let me

know

Claire Luna, 11

you can feel it on the ​way home. the potholes don’t ​shake you. she hits the curb, ​you don’t flinch.

the rosary ​on the rearview mirror falls to the ​dash. you think of that ​abandoned barn off of route 30. ​it’d be a good place to paint them. someone ​cuts her off. she slams on the brakes.

they cut their hair recently. it suits them. ​she asks you a question that you ​don’t hear. they tell you that you’re their favorite ​person. you wish you were more. she turns ​up the ac. it’s 97 degrees outside.

they played with your hand during breakfast. ​you tried so hard to be normal about it. ​they always look for you first.

she turns onto your street. you wonder if ​it’d be too much to make them a playlist. ​their name matches yours. would it be ​too much to point that out? that ​we’re two halves of a whole? they felt ​the same way that you do ​at some point. ​you wonder if they still do.

you get out ​of her car and stumble to ​the door. punch in the code, let ​the dog out, and fall apart in the ​black hole of your bedroom floor. ​you think about them.

Darkness

Mr. Justin Fox, Paraprofessional

He sees a cell in his reflection’s face, ​A hollow home in memory’s harsh recall ​So left to him is grim and darker space, ​Where likeness need not be so bright or tall ​If all is dark and lost without a name, ​If life is made no more than painful dream, ​Then Present fades into a careless game ​And Past’s sharp knives are dulled by lost esteem. ​But in this state of loss and losing sight, ​Where darkness seems to have no start or end, ​Then Future lacks a place to grant its light ​And naught but darkness stays a stalwart friend. ​So, Love, how can I break a mirror’s sway? ​Become it, Love, else with your dark I’ll stay.

Where the Forest and Fields Meet

Mr. Justin Fox, Paraprofessional

If nothing else, Mirkin found the peaceful solitude of these woods ​something to be treasured. Just at the edges of the Great Forest, the ​only creatures who crossed the elf’s path were animals or animal ​folk, all other noise stemming from the gentle rustle of the wind ​through the trees. The mighty oaks and bending willows stood fast ​and tall as the deep brown pillars and columns of the natural palace ​of his people. A tapestry of rich green leaves protected much of the ​wood from a harsh summer sun, their flapping in the breeze creating

the gentle rattle of life along with the birdsong and insect buzz...

i’m penpals with sappho

Claire Luna, 11

there’s a certain kind of sadness ​that creeps into my bedroom-- ​when leo is high in the sky ​and your touch feels like nothing ​but sin.

you’ve been ​married to the church since ​you were conceived. when i ​was born, the doctors had my tail removed and replaced my ​hooves ​with my dead twin’s feet, but they ​forgot to give me a new left hand, the ​church wouldn’t let me in ​even if i wanted it. ​and oh, ​how i wanted.

in first grade, we sent letters ​to pennsylvania. i thought that that ​was were vampires were from, so ​i left my letter in a box of garlic ​for a week before sending it, just in case ​they sent their vampirism back. ​my brother was diagnosed ​with porphyria a year later. i guess ​the garlic thing is a myth, then.

in sixth grade, i looked you in the eye ​for the first time, it terrified me so ​much that i still can’t look at ​you, you wear contacts and i’m worried ​that they work like 3-d movie glasses. if ​you look at me, will all my skin and blood ​melt away until it’s just my soul, laid barren for you to laugh at?

in eighth grade, i fell apart ​in my childhood bedroom. i fell to my knees and prayed to a god ​that i wished i could revere. ​i prayed for him to un-curse me, ​rid me of the vampiric blood that ran ​through my veins. i begged him to ​drive a stake through my heart ​and crucify me like a true monster; anything ​that would make your blood a little less sweet to me. ​he never answered, ​the coward.
