Wonder Poems
If I Stay
by Raina Hutchins
If I stay will you hold me
And comfort me through my tears
If I go will you miss me

With the passion you used to show
If I go will you let me
Be someone you used to know

Wisdom from the Mouths of Monsters
by Alex Rose
If monsters have mouths
Then what do they spout?
Is it truth that rebounds
Through their teeth?
If monsters have lungs

All the songs that one hears
In the deep.

The Star Witness
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
While we walked home from the movies, one moonlit starry night,
My friends and I talked and laughed, enjoying summer's delights.
The streets were quite silent, as trees swayed in warm breezes,

we seem to turn away from everything
that once made the world feel enormous?
We arrive knowing almost nothing.
And somehow, that makes everything enough.

by Mario Odekerken
Geboren im Licht,
wenn die Welt still atmet
und die Zeit langsamer geht.

Nicht laut,

A Bee Chases a Butterfly
by Kiyana Tavakolizadeh
A bee chases a butterfly
Flapping her frail white wings
Flys avidly unto the lea
Sprightly swirls in subtle swings
A bee chases a butterfly
A leaf plunges off a tree
Long thin grasses stretch to extreme
Reach out to seize glare's glee
