The life around you, through good and bad,

Will never give up on you- not even a tad.

Feel no sorrow, no sadness, nor pain

Just listen to nature and its delightful rain.

Nature is filled with life and peace

And this sweet feeling will never cease.

Home by Ben Rosasco

Home

Is a place that is not hard to find

When you have a crew and a ship and the wind flies

When the wind turns west, and it brings you away

You must hope

And pray

That home does not decay

Home is close

To your heart

And you must not delay

Or the sirens

And monsters will force you to stay

Home

Is a place that is important to us

And it causes a fuss

When your not with us

We need our king

Not Alcinous

Though kind may he be

Odysseus, Odysseus,

We all can agree

That you belong in Ithaca

Yes Ithaca

You belong In Ithaca

Not the Sea.

Overwhelming Malus by Christopher Egbert

Oh, you are the apple of my eye.

I want you to live, even if I die.

Your soul is very sweet.

You’re great, even very neat.

You make me want to say, “Oh my.”

Thunder by Bella Dombroski

Banging, booming loud.

Like anger pulsing through veins.

Bringing much chaos.

Like anger pulsing through veins.

Bringing much chaos.

Stuck in my Mind by Ben Gowgiel

Walking on a lonely road

Head down, stare at your toes

Don't say too much

Feel out of touch

Living fast, but dying slow

Holocaust by Brianna Taylor

Dark, cold and hungry

The sunrise is here again

only to remind me of my pain

Dark, cold and hungry

hard labor all day and all night

worry about my wife and my daughter

Dark, cold and hungry

Selection is now a daily thing

there are too many of us

Dark, cold and hungry

I am too weak to keep working

I will not die in vain

Sailing by Maddie Graan

Seeing the waves crash against the haul.

Angeling the wheel against the wind.

I pull out the sails and

Lay off the anchor as

I feel the wind swaying through my hair.

Not a care in the world since

God shows me how beautiful the sea can be!
