Giver

By Emma Van Lieshout

When I give, I don’t think of me

But still I’m known for my generosity

I just gotta give.

One gift for your apartment’s rent

One gift for the woman whose cash is spent

One gift, this I believe,

One gift is all you need.


Restaurant owner

By Abby Headley

What makes me me,

Is the way I see things.

The happiness it brings,

That tells others what I see.


The Coffin

By Jack Kavanaugh

The coffin wood grabs at my clothes

The wood chokes me

The darkness attacks me

The weariness crawls around me

When it opens the sun grabs me

I am back


This Man

By Enrique Gutierrez

This man is rueful,

This man was done,

This man let go, temptation had won.

This man was punished, for things of great crime,

This man left a sod to eat on a dime.

This man, crushed and torn,

This man was tired and worn.
