Today was the Day she Taught her Magic Trick

by Zeynep Sen

Today was the day she taught her magic trick
She stepped over and got hit by a prick
Her feet where sadly bare
And she fell over there
And that’s what happened to the chick

There was once man named Zoey
He went out with his wife Cloey
They started to fight
And she gave a bite
And they left with bite marks showy

There are Birds the Color of the Sky

by Mahima Rupakula

There are birds the color of the sky
Over the glassy pond they sing and fly
Once, they dived into the glass
Only to fly far and pass
The water that would’ve made them die

The birds were going to their field
Tired, the birds decided to yield
The birds came to rest
But then came a pest
So those birds made a feathery shield

The birds with the shield flew again
One bird had a very bad sun tan
The bird started to burn
Its mind started to churn
And the birds had a tanning ban

Everything in its Right Place
by Jared Gacusan
Start
again,
stop
again,
Everything
is in
its
right place.
I feel like
I just ate gold,
my teeth are
broken
and
need some
glue,
so I
can eat food
again.
Stop
again,
stop.

A Sphere with Potential
by Jared Gacusan
Pick
it up
and
stuff it
back in me.
There is
a
sphere
of great
potential;
a sphere with a
personality.
It is
mute,
and has
an eye of
clear glass.
Just
pick it
up.
