Remembrance

Charlie Korson, Grade 12

On the porch,
caressing memories.


the shiny grass,
under twisted trees.
the swing creates a wind that
blows,
behind sweat
covered bended
knees.

licking salt
from lips, and finger tips.
glass filled with tea like a sunset.
ignored,
because of other preoccupations.
tea, mingled with the tears of the lost

small bird,
in the wisteria bush.
calling lovely, from a place beyond
sight.
I can't stop those memories,
that tear
the tears
from my tightly closed eyes.

Paper Cup

Carrie Leggett, Grade 9

I know a man who holds in his hands the power to unlock the world
He unlocks the doors that lead to his soul
Where he keeps his dreams and visions
He collects the fragments in a paper cup
Where they are stirred together to make a dream
He sips from the paper cup as his fingers dance upon the guitar
He feels the dreams and wishes trickle down his throat into his heart
He then lifts them out into the air in a rapid shower
They combine and fit to complete a harmonious sound
They blend as ice cream on a summer day
He sings
His voice like lapping waves upon the shore
Each one more emotional as the echoes of the acoustic guitar finger into the night sky never receding
His face a mere twist of concentration
As the last dribbles descend from the battered cup
The air is filled with a dream amidst a dreamer
