Victory
The ball is wide.
Everyone Cheers.
Victory has come.
The moment is sweet.
Everyone is happy.
I raise my hands in joy.
My body is tired
But I feel no pain.
Adrenalin is running through my veins.
Today is great,
But tomorrow I work again
To reach another victory.

Poem
The
boy hears the shutting of a door.
The light he once
knew is no more.
He senses the
shadows begin to creep.
His heart begins
its dark sleep.
What he has always
held dear
Has fallen like a
single tear.
He knows to find
the light
But all he can find
is eternal night.
-S. Swanson
LAND OF THE FREE
Corrupt
officials,
A constitution
with no meaning,
You can break
the law and escape without a beating.
We cross seas to
fight terrorism,
But there are
gangs and terrorists still here livin’.
We lock up
grandmas for evading their taxes,
But don’t worry
about scary guys walking around with axes.
It’s OK if your
vice-president shoots up his best friend,
As long as he
says, “sorry, it was and accident.”
Everybody knows
that their vote doesn’t count,
But they’re too
scared to say anything for then the government’s pressure will
amount,
And soon you’ll
be a terrorist whose life doesn’t count.
Every one says
this is the land of the free,
But you can’t
say certain words like bomb,
And this sounds
more like a dictatorship to me.

Landed
Pop...smack.
Every time I try, I fail.
But that does not stop me.
Though it is late,
and the sunlight is fading away by the minute,
I attempt the trick like it is my last try.
I look to the hotel, the bus is about to leave.
There is no time to stall.
Pop...smack, pop...smack, pop...smack.
Pop...smack, but this time the smack wasn't from my deck hitting
the
ground.
My wheels had landed on the cold concrete and I proceeded o roll
away.
Finally I can leave.

Columbus Day

Why?
Why did I have to leave you out?
My snack…
Wasted for tomorrow…
Man, I AM HUNGRY!

Ovaltine and Cordell Walker
Ovaltine and Cordell Walker
When I need to chill
I don’t take a pill,
I just head to the refrigerator,
I grab the milk and mix and head toward the
Texas Ranger.
Because you see,
Ovaltine to me,
Or as just this side of heaven,
Teamed up with Trebeck and Cordell on channel
37.
So remember,
When you’re in Texas look behind you,
Cause that’s where a Rangers gonna be!
-Griffin Schafer
A Bad Decision
One who’s sensitive
One who’s kind
He never did anything
to me
How would I like to be
made fun of?
It wouldn’t feel very
good
Not thinking before
horrible words crawl out of my mouth
Sticking to my insides
as I vomit them out
What was that for?
That’s not me
I’m also sensitive and
kind
There’s no difference
between him and me
What gives me the
right?
Suddenly he leaves
I feel awful
Quick to follow
Wanting him to feel
better
Wishing I had just
kept the simple words to myself
Not wanting him to be
upset
I didn’t want to say
those things
But what made me?
Was it my lack of
thought
Or just my stupidity
seeping through at all angles?
At this moment I truly
hate myself
What decision was
triggered?
Why didn’t I walk the
other way?
-Noah Springwater
“Surprise”
Sailing down though the wind
Showing off to whoever is watching
Smiling in the sunlight
Seeing the little house on the hill
Sliding up the hill towards the house
Crashing into the hill
Careening head over heels
Crunching of the little bone
Coming into the leg is an unbearable
Pain

What is there to do?
God’s taken her
No Lost and Found
No
getting her bac
Can I
ask you a question God?
Why her?
