Tragic Poems
The Infinity Mirror
by Misha Cayne
THE INFINITY MIRROR
Read it as a poem where the mirror is personfied as the artist. So you have to decide for yourself who is she/he/it and what is my relationship to the mirror as an artist personified.
Also as a poem about schizophrenia where the voices are imagined as images or ideas reflected back, and language is also reflected back. Also a stream of consciousness poem.

Remember The Days
by Alex Karahalios
Oh honey remember those days you and I had at the park going on the swing sets
Remember those days we had when we would talk laugh smile and cry
Remember our first date together it was near the beach on a cold autumn’s night
I placed my coat over you to keep you warm and to protect you
Remember our first kiss together it was on a cold winter's night it was magical
My life faded when the doctor told you and I that Alzheimer's disease took over your life
I cry at the thought of you not remembering the life we had together
You don’t even remember my name or the ring I gave you at our wedding day

A mighty ship, Titanic
by Saleh Ben Saleh
They built a ship,
to sail the blue.
A sight of wonder,
a dream come true.
They thought they built,
a mighty view.
There is no sea,
it can’t sail through.
But they were wrong.

Oh Little Plane
by Alex Karahalios
Oh little plane how magnificent you are
The places you take people are just so wondrous
I just love seeing you fly by everyday
The mysteries you give me are frightening
Oh little plane why didn’t you come today
Were you sick or did I not come outside soon enough
I look at the TV to find out that you crashed on two towers

Untitled #40
by Shreyansh Jain
Sometimes I sleep, wishing there won’t be a morning,
That the drapes on my window stay shut,
Just like my heart stays shut now.
I close my eyes, seeing nothing but dark,
Begging the dark to sing me a lullaby,
To soothe and comfort me,
For I might not open my eyes again,
For the dark might have to become my home.
