Perspective Poems
Thunder Divine
by Ankit Srivastava
Lavish green land was rich and fine
Said, go away Oh thunderclouds, you are scary and malign
Green became grey in a matter of time
Praying for clouds, the land was crying
They came back, fading the sun’s shine

Mosaic of Understanding
by Everleigh Blackburn
In the eyes of a child,
Life is a wonder,
a kaleidoscope of colors,
each day a new adventure,
laughter echoing in the air,
every moment, a treasure.
The scholar sees it differently,
a puzzle of questions,
each answer a stepping stone,

Vintage
by Gonzalo Mendez
A centerfold with spine damage
obscuring the photos from how they were planned
Deep wrinkles on the page
Take hold but leave enough to see
except for the sentences lost in the ditch
Compromising just to fit
Is this worth holding on to?
Sway
by Brady Stewart
Crazy Crazy it never stops there is no time for punctuation
It starts off sounding like an elementary narrative
The alarm sounds sounds downstairs it's the neighbor
The neighbors are smoking probably smoking smoking
The toy on the desk moves moves it moves when you pull it
The trees don't seem to sway sway sway but they're so far away.
So How can you tell?
The toilet is never clean, spotless clean clean
The windows are open
Sometimes,

Faith in Mine
by Brady Stewart
Mr irreverent became irrelevant
When hell was created for the heaven of it.
Santa Claus - • Was a lost cause when he stuffed my Mother's closet.
(My Dad) • - had plastic shells beneath his bed,
That pillow rustled beneath my head,
I wake with fairy death to my bedside,
The start of the end of the
uncultured times, thus I cried,
Bye bye.
My faith wasn’t mine.

Yours to chose (denial)
by Aaliyah Time
Some people say I am rude, mean, a bully even.
They ask me if I get happy when insulting people, as if I am that cruel.
Well…
What they don't realize is quite basic human psychology.
Obviously something their limited brains can not handle.
Our words often describe us more than the person we insult.
Now is this true all the time? No.
It's just something to consider when someone says something about you that is not true.
Now, is it wrong to be straightforward with others?
I think you might get several different answers.

To Be Frog Legged
by Brady Stewart
A frog,
Unto another lily pad.
Plip.
There are different bugs here.
Blip
Did you hear it?
No!
Not the tongue.
Or the hop
But it's the reason for the plip plop.

Tragic Alteration
by Brady Stewart
There was a time
When time was continuous
Thoughts, coming
Going
Time never ceasing
There was a time
When people were not caged,
Not Sworn into oaths of evading eyes
eyes were free to see
