Been There. Done That.
Kimya Firoozan

In this short and simple haiku, the author describes the sadness she experiences, brought on by her bouts of loneliness and self-isolation.

Black n White
Kimya Firoozan

The author describes someone who is important to them. Through their appearance, this special someone changes the author’s perspective on what looks convey about a person.

Oh, Dear
Kimya Firoozan

chasing the wild deer,
and following the roe.
my heart is in the highlands,
wherever i go.
~Imkay

No Time
Jessica Jiang

In this poignant piece, Jessica explores the nostalgia and heartbreak experienced when someone once loved now seems to have all the time in the world, but none of it for you.

Sweetheart
Jessica Jiang

With its sporadic yet meaningful capitalization and smooth but unusual flow, the poem captivates the affects of appearance and false love.

Ten Tickles
Veronika Kowalski

How many tickles does it take to get an octopus to laugh?
~Veronika

Hand In Hand
Carolyn Fontanez

In this beautifully written poem, the author clearly describes someone who took her in as one of her own. In response to these touching actions, the character supports them through love and affection.

Ode to Eight Hours
Maggie Liu

In this quirky poem, the author describes the relief and astonishment one may feel after a productive day’s work. Her efforts proved to be effective, as she was rewarded with a comfortable sleep.

Sunset
Yasmeen Hassan

I got really into photography over the summer and I took many really nice looking pictures that I wanted to share.
~Yasmeen

Who am I?
Brian Zhang

Can you guess what object Brian is describing?
All will be revealed in the last stanza of this playful poem.

Friendship
Brian Zhang

In “Friendship”, Brian explores the despair that comes with loneliness, and how, despite this, people have the power to establish companionship that gives them solace.

In the Light of the Moon
Julia Pepper

Check out the art department for Julia's second abstract piece that is intriguingly mysterious, well composed and creative.

It's Easy to Break Things
Vanessa Lam

Vanessa describes how one experiences anger and the consequences of such in this thought provoking poem and I'm sure we can all relate.

Dream Journals
Veronika Kowalski

We have THREE new dream journals for you this time!

Man Named Amy
An encounter on a train quickly goes from uncomfortable to chilling.

Thief
A dense forest, a boy running, and a thief ahead of him. This story will leave you wondering about the fate of the characters long after you have read it.

Door
A suspenseful tale of the events unfolding in a dark room. With a murderer close by, there’s no knowing who could be the next victim!
