Imagery Poem
Thiaby Sow


I see pancakes
I smell milk
I hear sizzling
I taste sugar
I feel joyful


Mittens
Damir Pryce

There once was a little cat.

That had a flower hat.

He was also a detective.

Your browser may not support display of this image. And was very protective.

Mittens, was that cat.




WHAT’S IT LIKE?

Mariama Bah

What’s it like to be dead?

Do you still wish to share your memories as you once had?

Do you feel the emptiness in your head?

Or do you pity the ones that weep for you, all sobbing and sad?

Do like been hidden underneath the soil as if

You don’t exist?

Or maybe is it just because you don’t want

People to discover what terrible faith

that led you to this?




My Color

simile

By Chiaki Kitsuki

Black is moon at night.

Orange is coming sunlight.

Blue is when you are sadly.

Pink is when you are happily.

Yellow is my future.

Green is nature.

Red makes lovely Marriage ceremony.

What color interest to you?

Jay's Poem


What Am I?

By Jay Yeager

Graceful soaring like a bird.

Is not charging like a heard/

Flies in packs.

With no impact.

Graceful soaring like a bird.
