Youth Poems
Becoming
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
The purplish crimson sun's now arising,
And buds are waiting on yellow rosebush.
Yesterday lessons for today are guiding,
As birds take violet skies of dawn hush.
The youth grew so quickly, time's ambush!
the thing before the thing before the thing
by Bogdan Dragos
because it’s nice to be young
because it’s nice to be in your
early to mid twenties
and it’s nice to do the thing
after you’ve done the thing
the thing that comes after you’ve
done the
thing is always
the same

Amalfi Coast
by bella harrison
I had dreams of a life
not long ago,
angels meet beyond our horizon,
in this heavenly nothing where everything glows; we knew,
we know.
Lucid, morose, palm trees,
no way home. Don't go,
let go, get low, won't stand too close
Unclean, more fiend, I am
your dose,

the Fool
by Alex Rose
For the one who would take on a god in his hearth, in his home,
Small, all alone.
Skinny and bare, bolder than you'd hope but not as bold as you might think.
What else to reach for if not higher,
What else to pray to if not sky fire?
The hand in its place has no chance to erase
The pain of the days long gone by.
The ankh round the neck is a drag, a behest,
A reminder that gods too shall die.

When We Were Young At Home
by John Bradford
I'm growing old, I'm growing old,
My hair is ting'd with gray ;
In search of pleasure, fame, and gold,
I've worn my life away ;
And standing on a foreign shore,
I gaze o'er ocean's foam.
And ponder on the days of yore,
When we were young at home.
I see again, in Fancy's realm,

The Anthem of Youth
by Peter Dr Lim
An Anthem of Youth
.....but we were so young then
and blood was wildly rushing
through our every vein-
our heart was in unstoppable flame
there was no asking why
with no rules to comply-
we wrote our poems
in rapturous abandon

ECLIPSED/REBELLION :
by ink waver
In the abyss where wispers creep.
A spark ignites in the middle of the deep.
With tale to tell,they said :
Be strong,weallmust grown .
Yetlife unvield its darkest show.
Am I to young to hide in this storm ?
Or to an insurgent,I shall transform ?
In a world sofake ,I take my stand
Under the eclipsed moon I command .
Through huricanes eyes ,I tread,

Distance
by Rhys O’Donnell
I wanted to speak with you tonight
Your presence was inviting
I have trouble finding the right words
Could you ever look my way
A group gathers around you
I try to stay beside
They cling to your words like I
Rushing to understand you

Tracing Crumbs
by Aspen M
Electric
Bolts across spine, down arms
Shocks wrists
Tingles palms
Tickles upon my neck, shivers my thighs
