Living Redwood

By Angela Clem

A Giant

A Living Freak of Nature

A Redwood.

Tall, upstanding, huge, strong, ancient

At least

 2,400 years old

People look at it in wonder.

“Wow! Amazing!” They say

And I agree

But I don’t


Hang a Crooked Star (excerpt)

By Brooke Shippee

I awoke from the dream, still somewhat fatigued and ravenously hungry. The wheels beneath me stammered over the open road, bumping along like Morse code in tune to the music of the teenager seated beside me.

The sea shimmers as if

a child,

has poured glitter in its

soft blue path.

Mountains linger over such water

and are outlined

by a china blue sky.

The sun dances across the water,

casting this magical scene.
