Shark Week (Poem by Emme Gravely, Sketch by L. C. Olmert)
Shark Week
For one week of the year
My fame over rides your fear.
Living in the shadows
I won’t be oppressed by your hatred.
You’re gonna need a bigger boat.
Wings (Poem by Pierson Van Trigt, Sketch by Georgia Mugisha)
Wings What did man do when they saw the first butterfly? Did they swat it away and break its wings like my dog, Or did they admire the stripes and colors on its back? When I first saw a butterfly, I’ve been told that I tried to eat it, the black and orange stripes Must have reminded me of the candy corn I had eaten during Halloween. Part of me Still remembers my mom’s screams As I tried to take a bite out of a tasty looking wing.
