What is Poetry!?

  1. Poetry is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language—such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre—to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, the prosaic ostensible meaning. Poetry has a long history, dating back to the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh.

Oceans: Our Story

Beginning
Oceans
Waves, small ones
Ticking
Time
Lives went by
Parks and trees
Rollercoasters
Me on my knees in front of you
Moving
Changing
Lives rearranging
Oceans
Bigger waves
Happy, smiling
Fighting
Writing
Making up
New life
A son
Scared
Young
Fighting
Fighting
A new family torn apart
Waiting
Wanting
Playing
Flaunting
Run
Run
Northern skies
Brown black eyes
Looking into green gray ones
Going home
A child
Just one
Turning into two
Not feeling well
You start to speak
She looks
Just like you
Living
Laughing
Changing
Crying
Lots of sleepless nights
Music
Clowns and carnivals
Trying longer
Than before
Families ties
Loosen in the wars
Run again
Run once more
Flying high
Flying low
Opposite directions
One east
One west
Children
Two
Lost inside rejection
Fighting beasts
Phone calls, letters
Call
Call
call
From the east
A look back home
Looking looking looking
Concrete walls
Locked up doors
Doing better than before
Looking
East
He unlocks the door
Looking through
Walking in..

She loves him even more

Voices

Artwork by: Shelly Ramasocky
He had the chance to walk it off after stumbling and falling, but instead he chose to run, when he heard the voices calling. Things would slow him now and then, though They were only stalling.
He’d heard the voices once before, They were all recalling, while lying in his bed. Softly whispering out at night, he feared he may be dead. Upon the day came great relief, the voices were only coming from somewhere in his head.
But, not this time, out of his bed, they got him now, the voices were too loud. Outside the house and just above, there formed a darkening cloud. Sadly, They all had to step aside and watch the voices chase him ‘round.
The voices built him up and tore him down, reducing him to nothing. The voices demanded his soul, demanded his mind, and all his life would bring. After everyone left him and all hope was lost, the voices, the voices that were calling before had begun to sing;
Come with us
You should not stay
Come with us
We know the way
Come with us
we’ll give you rest
Come with us
You failed the test
