Hi Sea

by Michael J. Nappi

Nostrils wake my water child
salted taste of ocean breeze.
Primordial breath
bays a briny bawl
happy home is here.

Waters capped in white by wind
push against tide.
Waves perish in sand.
Memories paint the shore

True Reflections

by Michael J. Nappi

If every mirror on every wall,
Could show the truth to one and all.
Looking past what we disguise,
Show us truths and end the lies.

Please don’t show us only good,
Reflect much deeper, if you would.
Show our sins and show us lie,
Show times we hurt the other guy.

The Bus Stop

by Michael J. Nappi

A bitter youth boards a yellow bus
Impatient, petulant child, hardened by hurt
Each rule a challenge... accepted... defeated
Malicious moves, drawing blood first

School ends... lessons continue
Building character, life and family
Settled into (or for) what is (or was) in front of him
Same stuff different day (life is what you make it)

Brain Storm

by Jay B

The Earth is my mother and she is my home

The sky above me, wherever I am.
This is my father, my guidance toward future prosperity

I make my way with honesty, docility and adaptability
I make them my divinity along with life and death

I relinquish all concept of strategy, design, tactics, law and talent
I place principle, benevolence and the grasp of fore-locking opportunity in their stead

Different Version

by Kailey Norris

I long for a different version of myself.
A me who hasn’t made a mistake,
A me who was a better friend, a better child.
I long for a me who is social,
A me without flaw,
A me without a bad experience
