We have to stop sometime. This is Noah Taylor’s poem.
Bitter Work
Noah Taylor
Bitter work and hopelessness
Plague the waking hours
Of the man that has been stripped
Of all his former power.
Who is this man?
What is his place?
Why must he live and beg?

Judges and Critics without diplomas to our names
He may beg, but dies he lie?
Does [...]

Stacie Martin
The whispering wind tousles my hair
My lungs fill with a breath of salt-filled air
Tumbling waves thunder in my ears
Shimmering sand swallows my toes

Fall Leaves
AJ Duzan
Leaves turn red, yellow, orange, violet, and brown
They flitter peacefully and silently to the ground
For they acknowledge that winter is near
And they will come again next year
Falling, crawling, and creeping in the wind’s direction
Alas, they care not where they have swirled and whirled
But praise [...]
Having been working on their 10-page papers, Bear Smythe presents his look at his frien-emy.
Computer Oh Computer
Bear Smythe
Computer oh computer how great thou art
Absorbing time hour by hour
Possessing knowledge of a thousand men
Combined in a small play pen
Computer oh computer you are in charge
Why can’t you repair the font enlarged?
Eyes are squinting close to the [...]
