If I Were a Star

By Kelly Morillo

If I were a star
I would
touch the
evening sky.
If I were a star I would be brighter than the others.

If I were the moon
I would say good night to you when
you go to sleep at night.
If I were the moon I would shine brighter than the sun.


I Wonder...

By Shawna Morris

I wonder if there is going to be another war
I wonder why people like me
I wonder how my uncle died

I wonder what I am going to look like when I’m older
I wonder why people are mean
I wonder if I will ever have kids


Delightful Lies

By Shawna Morris

I wish I were not so perfect!
I am so perfect;
when the wind is blowing 100 miles an hour,
not one hair raises.
My clothes do not have one wrinkle throughout the day.
(my clothes are as smooth as silk)


Petit Dejeuner

By Rabi Hemayoun

The sky sits on the horizon and sighs.
The sun rises, the wind cries.
A raven is flying beyond the trees,
shredding through the breeze
The sky sits on the horizon and sighs.
The sun craves covering, a cloud complies.
