Falling Asleep to the Brown Line L

By Catherine Strayhall

Chicago, my beauty;

Chicago, my heart. 

Chicago, the deep breath of 

Every morning I start.

Chicago, my summer;

Chicago, my light.

Chicago, the way her buildings

Shine in the night.


Passion

By Cassidy Anderson

It’s fire

It’s ice

It’s steam



It’s crowded

It’s lonesome

It’s good



It’s life

It’s death

It’s purgatory



It’s yours

It’s mine

It’s ours


Gold Medal

By Carolyn Nuss

The diver and the coach as still as a rock

Because the diver failed her dive because she balked

The coach’s eyes were filled disappointment and fear

But do not worry she will better next year

She will be better next year


Battle Wounds

By Caroline Koenig

Sometimes things happen

It is a part of life

But no one said it would be this hard

Take her back to the start

In the beginning it was all fun and games
