Misery (Poem by Janiera Carr, Sketch by Grayson Gondi)





Misery

Her mind forms clouds
As the gentle breeze brings butterflies
That take her to misery--
Drowning in thoughts of those
That give her jitters and tingles.

Feline (Poem by Drew Tompkins, Sketch by Mia Hinderman)

Image
Feline If there is anything we share with house cats, it is our innate disregard for the known; our pessimistic outlook which disallows us to see the constant good of everyday.
