Bouquets of roses decorate my face
When your face turns ugly with expression
My little heart can no longer keep pace
You are stabbing me and I bleed passion
Cologne waves of peppermint kiss my nose
Your fragrance swallows me and I am lost Continue reading “One Sided Love by Evangeline Bryant”
My youth is falling,
Down with the colored leaves.
The smell of pecan pie
will wish me happy birthday
I’ll float on the aroma of Thanksgiving,
and visualize what
my new life
will bring to me.
I loath you.
I curse you.
I murder you.

The noise from the television is occasionally disrupted by raster, the seemingly alive pixels of white and black burst forth from wherever they were hidden among the internal code
The clock on the wall sounds in time to each passing second, the minute hand creeping slowly, damned to its ceaseless rotation for the entirety of eternity Continue reading “Ode to Mama by Jaylah Easter”
There’s a wolf out there,
Giving the world a big scare,
He’s a real werewolf. Continue reading “Halloween Haiku by Angelique Kolick”
I’m gonna tell you a tale that may give you a fright,
It is a scary good story for a Halloween night.
Michael’s daddy was reading a bedtime story.
A fun one not scary or gory.
Outside you could hear all kinds of sounds.
The howl of the wind and kids laughing ‘round town. Continue reading “The Devil’s Trick by Jackson Greene”
You’re not my lover,
You made me a monster.
What’s the odds of you putting your jacket on the ground, so I could walk over a puddle?
What’s the odds of me loving you?
What’s the odds of you loving me?
Why can’t that us, become a “we”? Continue reading “You’re Not My Lover! by Heaven Glover”
Nothing in the world can resemble falling snow,
It’s one of nature’s beauties a lot of people don’t know,
Like changes in season the cold is as slow,
For no real reason the rain starts to flow,
With drops and trickles they fall on your feet,
The feeling of feeling is fun and unique, Continue reading “Winter”
All lives matter right?
It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white?
But please explain to me why
There’s nobody on our sidelines
When we disappear
When we are killed
We are blamed for the whole deal
Claims that what we did was steal
So they sent a whole field
of bad cops to “settle” things Continue reading “Missing by A.B.”
Darling,
Don’t detest downers deviating from drowning.
I am not a damsel in distress.
I am dubious,
doubting despair and darkness.
Don’t worry,
I desire greatness not delight.
People daring to drag me down the depths of depression,
but I am a diamond desperate to be discovered.
Dugout from the domineering people around me,
the distress is distinct,
disturbed,
and in disarray.
