Mad
By Holly B. and Syleena L.

Madness takes over your body

Flaming red sparks

Streaming through you

Madness makes sweat trickle down your

Face.  Anger pollutes the kindness in your heart.

Fists swinging in the path ahead. Annoyed

No one will listen to you. Screaming so

You break glass. It goes away but cannot

Be sure

It’s gone.

Band-Aid
by Holly B.

Tan plastic
Slinging Peeling stretching
Burning rip clenching locks
Bandage

I Am The Master Cat
by Zach R.

I can see equally well at dusk or dawn
Devouring ogres and outwitting farmers
I am the Master Cat
