The Reality

The Reality

Jamarrez Davis, Poetry Writer February 22, 2016

Strewn across a path so wide Lay fragments that aren't easily hidden A puzzle so complex and impromptu That we never are fully able to see it To each their own because we all possess it Is this...

Crescent Wrench No. 1

Crescent Wrench No. 1

Jimmieria Chillis, Poetry Writer February 16, 2016

Sometimes I need you Although old and weathered with age Your beginning and latter strength has no end. You’re experiencing better days I’m reminded of you as I gaze— At the twilight Whose...

Conform

Conform

Rebecca Carroll, Staff Writer February 13, 2016

Black like an endless abyss. Round and around you go. Inch deep or inches deep? Weave or swirl out, about. Branch you sit on, still. Deep space you conform in. Out and about, you are. One day...

Me

Me

Sheldon Ransom, Staff Writer February 11, 2016

I seek love only to find love’s illusion Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, I was lured to my own sacrifice Scared of what was to come But not seeing what was done What is left of me The shell of...

Poetic Statement

Poetic Statement

Alecia Wilson, Copy Editor February 11, 2016

They say you should say what you mean and mean what you say. You can do both, but they won't hear you either way. They silenced the noise, but all we did was whisper. Hot off the press, it'd never be...

Typical Night

Typical Night

Judgement

Constantly Moving

Constantly Moving

Rebecca Carroll, Staff Writer February 11, 2016

Life as a floating dock. Back, Forth, side to side.   Life as a swing. Back, Forth, side to side.   Life as a helicopter. Back, Forth, side to side.  

The Place in Your Mind

The Place in Your Mind

Rebecca Carroll, Staff Writer February 11, 2016

Fireflies dancing in the wind, Blue Autumn in a Winter Wonderland, Narnia on the other side, A storm on your side. Reality fades, Imagination becomes, Dreamland, Freedland. Open the door and experience this, Or ride the storm out? Reality soon becomes imagination, Imagination soon becomes reality.

Beholding Their Beauty

Beholding Their Beauty

Dymontre Holmes February 11, 2016

Behold, the beauty that stands before you Has no shape or size. Nor does the color of their skin come without judgment. To view them with your eyes and to gaze upon their glory. You try to...

Queen

Queen

Jamarrez Davis, Poetry Writer February 9, 2016

Elegance carved in her DNA, Smile as beautiful as a full moon, Her home plays as odds against her. But adversity just isn't her tomb, Her strength rivaling hardened metal. She faulters like any...
