Never Again  By: Zack Billingsley My mind is in the clouds, In between the white puffs. Day and night, I ponder; I remember what I said. It is not a dream, but a nightmare. I have learned my lesson. Never before have I said that, And never again will I. I must be careful, No room for another mistake. Because I could never go through this again.

The Black Wings By Marta C Ayele

I stare out the window, Watching the light fade. It ceases to exist. At last it falls over the horizon, And the sky becomes dark. The moon shows the ruins of the earth, The waste of the Day. The Night has truly taken hold. Examine the beauty of it,

Among the wings of darkness.

 * Bleak Spaces **

** Where are the ‘tweens? ** ** In between all of everything. ** ** Something breathless, confuses us, ** ** Somewhere in the ‘tweens. **

** Midnight, doorways, ** ** Leaps from point to point. ** ** ‘tweens create our very lives, ** ** But ‘tweens are nowhere. **

** In the midst of our unconscious slumber, ** ** We see into the ‘tweens, through our dreams. ** ** The dreams that can be bleak, ** ** Or as soothing as streams. **

**The World Behind the Tree** By: Mia Hartung

I climb up the tree, And go inside the tree house. I do this 3 times a day; morning, dusk, and midnight. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in; text-indent: 0.5in;">We study, laugh, and remember the memories. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in; text-indent: 0.5in;">We dream about what the tree house could become. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">We find new ways to view our world that we created. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in; text-indent: 0.5in;">Never before have we shared this information to anyone. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in; text-indent: 0.5in;">The tree house becomes a white castle. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 2.0in; tabstops: 2.0in;">Music plays when we arrive. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in; text-indent: 0.5in;">I wouldn’t have believed that we could make this world our dream.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">Clouds make shapes like turtles Crawling their way slowly after the sun For the sun brings warmth and happiness to the day Crickets laugh and long grass does a dance Like a dream with gum drop trees and lemon pie We sit and watch a caterpillar make a cocoon As it grows into a beautiful butter fly like never before The white turtles in the sky smile at the sight While faint Caribbean music plays from beyond Though no one cared by whom it was sung

**Peaceful Clouds**
By: Josh Ayers

The cottony white clouds float across the sky, The sun shines between the cracks of the cloud shining upon us. The day time scene changes as the sun shines through the clouds in different ways. Studying the different shapes, I day dream of what they could be. I find a cloud shaped like a dog, another shaped like a boat. In the midst of all the images lies the sun. Carefully placed right in the middle of the sky, I hold my breath as a cloud passes between the sun and I. I wouldn’t have believed clouds made of just water could block such a powerful phenomena. ** A Storm To Remember ** ** By: Ryan Rutherford ** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Baskerville Old Face',serif; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">The clouds are brewing Everyone rushes inside Day turns to dusk A dusk to remember All stricken with horror To find a storm Like never before The air grows bleak White noise you seek Everyone who knew it shall sleep ** God’s Canvas ** <span style="display: block; font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">By Alexandra Walch <span style="display: block; font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">If you stand by me <span style="display: block; font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">As the light fades at dusk, <span style="display: block; font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">I’ll show you the sun as it becomes watercolor across the sky. <span style="display: block; font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">A canvas, never painted the same way. <span style="display: block; font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">When darkness pours out like black paint, <span style="display: block; font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">I’ll hold your hand and <span style="display: block; font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">Our hearts will beat together. <span style="display: block; font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">Caught up in the beauty of constant change, <span style="display: block; font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">We’ll examine the new splattered speckles of twinkling glitter. <span style="display: block; font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">The specks light up the landscape as <span style="display: block; font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">The artist-of-it-all <span style="display: block; font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">Paints a line between your heart and mine.

One Typical Night By: Hannah Griffin In bed I lay All sound asleep Enduring the day left behind Quiet at last As darkness filled the room Holding close the sheets for warmth What joy to relax and close my eyes Successfully filled my soul At night looking out to examine the sky As the earth sleep soundly with stars above.
