FREE VERSE POETRY 

A Writer’s Pencil

By: Makenzi


An average pencil is used to write, scribble, and scrawl

for when speech does not say enough.

Graphite against paper,

Leaving a story to be read.

Fairy tales of adoration,

Fables of devotion,

And poems of passion

All written to hide a writer’s sorrow.

Life is forgotten as words pour onto the page,

But eventually there are no more words to write.

Life is remembered with all its despair,

And the story seemingly repeats itself.

An author’s heartache is not hidden for long;

Even a thousand words cannot hide the pain of life.

A hurricane of depression floods the mind

Until it is bound to flow out like a river.

There are no longer stories of love and warmth,

But rather a single letter of cold heartbreak

Simply saying, “Goodbye.”

The pencil is no longer used to write, scribble, and scrawl.

It sits alone in a pool of a writer’s tears,

Leaving a story to be read.

My Cat By: Jenna  You and I are bonded  Like the snow that falls    when it stops, we fall, too it was Like a never-ending call that said "I will be there for you" It might be off and on, sad or happy  It might fall on the wrong person But I will always be there  Like a bunch of white flowers  That gain colors  Eyes that sparkle like a frozen lake  That feeling like when you touch cotton      Soft, but sharp  Lonely, but lovely  Smells like ocean   Fresh and blue Cute and calm  Sweet and spiritual   She's Sour candy  the only one I want to touch  The one I want to spend my life with  And just my best friend

ADALYNN - BIO POEM

-
  BY: Adalynn Adalynn, Who is always lazy and lounging. Who is the sister of Morgan, Cedric, and the daughter of Kelly. Who loves dance, law, and justice. Who feels out of bounds, lost, and simply along for the ride. Who needs to be alone but together, peaceful but chaotic, simple but complex. Who gives simple advice, an honest opinion even if brutal, and a good laugh to others. Who fears feeling empty,things touching my throat, and words I cannot understand. Who would like to see the German cathedrals, Italians statues, and the forbidden city of China. Who shares food, kindness, and knowledge. Who is a human, a dancer, and a gymnast. Who is a resident of Olney, Illinois. Kate.

THIS I BELIEVE - NIKOLAI

I’m sure you’ve had at least one person give you a weird look, even though you don’t know who they are or who they are. They just judged you on appearance. They believe in a stereotype. Regardless of this, or how common it is, there is no such thing as a universally true stereotype. This is a simple belief, and even if people disagree, they cannot prove it wrong. It is a fact. You can say all people of [group] are [thing], but you’re wrong. If you’re right, it’s not a stereotype. And if it’s not a stereotype, it's not an issue. It is then not an opinion, which may be offensive, put simply. If I said “All adults are rude,” I’d be wrong. That’s a simple stereotype. Point out even a single outlier, and you’ve proven someone wrong in their stereotypical beliefs. One moment I can point out here that I’ve had to learn this was when I was playing an online game, and when I tried to talk to someone they said something rude. I don’t remember what they said, but I eventually got it out if ...
