Box of Color Pencils
By Rebecca MeyerWhile walking in the art store today.
I overheard a color pencil box
With many things to say
“I don’t like the Red,” said the Orange
and Green said, “Nor do I”
and no one likes Yellow
But no one knows just why

War That Can Not Be Won
By Taylor HavilandWe are all rugged people,
and through out soft degrees.
Many a mean have shouted,
Many have fallen too their knees.
We think we’re at war with others,
But wrong because we are at war
with ourselves,
Green Sanctuary
By Karen LieffringCome with me into these memories
Where grown-ups are not allowed
Across the deep concrete river
Where in giant hollow owl’s eyes
You can hear the hidden bears’ growls.
Beneath high branches curved like arches
Their leaves intertwined
You Opened My Eyes
By Hannah E. JenkinsI was blind and you opened my eyes.
I was blind to deceivers, and you showed
me them. I was blind to true love, and you showed
me it. I was blind to forgiveness and you did it for me.
I was blind to the truth, and you revealed it all. I was blind
Behind a stone cold shell
By Dusti LewisGet behind the eight ball she said, which I had yet to understand. She said
it meant to look ahead to the future. I sat
there contemplating this saying for a while, and as I fell into
a deep slumber my thoughts ran free. Thinking of our future--
The Early Storm

the early storm, you find peace and
utter relaxation. Tearing down the
limits of your imagination, making
room for the inspiration, the
imaginative power of your soul.
See Through Glass Bowl
By Keegan Conrad All the things inside of me, swimming in my soul,
Show on the outside, like a see through glass bowl,
My clothes are colorful with a comfy fit,
Showing my humor, style, and wit,
My athleticism is shown also by my clothes,
Real World
By Maddie MiguelThis is the real world
With limited freedom, and lots of things to fear
Where you can’t get away from the truth
This is where violence lives, and people follow you
Where guns are triggered at any time or place
Inside Out
By Rachel PedichioSometimes things are not the way they seem
Say an M&M for instance, its candy coated on the outside
But chocolate in the inside.
Some say they are lonely in the inside
But so busy out there.
Make It What You Want
By Hailey CannonWake up
Do my hair
Put makeup on
So they don’t stare
Wait a minute
Nothing’s wrong with me
I have friends
And a family
Rain of Mortality
By Zoë Christianson I killed a tree writing notes last night,
but the question ravaging my mind
does not relate to the fine points of progressivism.
Even I, as little as I live, am too distracted to get this right.
The Ballad of Link and Zeida
By Sam LawlerI’ve run through grasses and cut them down
With my new Kokiri sword.
I have only twenty-five rupees,
So the shield I can’t afford.
Once I’ve purchased this wooden defense,
I’ll meet the Great Deku Tree
The Tale of the King of Thieves
By Mellissa OsborneThere is a world so different than ours
Where elves walk with man and have mystical powers
And in this world, on the streets of a small castletown
There you’d find the most honorable rogue around
It was home to the King of Thieves.

Might there be a purpose that is more?
Maybe only time can tell the true meanings of our lives; it doesn’t lie.
That’s the power behind our efforts that continue till we die.
Just a Thought
By Kelly O’NeillI don’t know why,
Maybe it was just a thought.
‘Less it was not to just sit here,
And have my mind rot.
Writing on paper,
With the scratch of pen.
Thinking of nothing,
‘Cept the thoughts of men.
An Outsider
By Alyx DelgadoMy outside a shy, colorless human being
Soft spoken and gentle as can be
How I appear “perfect” and “flawless” as can be.
However my only flaw may be how I have another person
Wanting to be set free...
Could It Be Better Tomorrow?
By Matt LoganAn act of courage is what I call,
In the eye of a parent a plummeting fall.
An hour-long lecture will send him on his way.
It just seems like another reason to run away.
These are words of wisdom you should borrow.

Those who with my choices disagree
My eyes drop
They’re staring
Quickly judging what they see.
Outside Looking In

Because I’m on the outside looking in
My heart starts to yearn
The secrets of friendship I wish to learn
I want to be inside
And to be filled with pride
I can imagine myself in there

What is rightfully his,
Never whimper away from fears,
Never give away their tears,
Fight for what is right,
Inside the brightest of light,
