  1. To See is to Feel

    And to feel is to believe.
    Must I believe everything I see?

    In the twilight I stare at the sun
    Wondering if I can go blind before it falls

    So that in the light of day I don’t have to stare at society
    And wonder the same.

    I follow the cattle driven to slaughter,
    Hoping to get blood in my eyes

    And shield my being from the ignorance
    That threatens to dissolve who I am

    And melt my candle resolve
    Into a malleable wax

    I stare at the sun
    I stare at the sun

    Still I can see

  2. Zachary Lohouse -- Kim Addonizio poem
    Man o’ war


    1000 times each summer
    Off the coast beneath sapphire crests

    Beneath eggshell foam and salt
    The 50-meter whip

    The cure lies with the poison
    One living in the other

    But sting will only hurt you
    Until reunited with its home

  3. I am writing a motif short story about a man who writes essays in an office building for a living, but really secretly loves to draw. Periodically, he makes certain sketches of what is going on in whatever moment of his life. Some of the images are metaphorical.

  4. My story is about a man (Nolan) who has multiple personality disorder. He meets this girl while writing his memoirs and one of his personalities is madly in love with her while one despises her due to past experiences which he links to her existence. The motif is fear.

  7. Why does the girl cry at night?
    By Jamilah Barker


    When the door’s closed
    In the back of the closet
    Holding herself together as she falls apart

    Why does no one care the girl cries at night?
    Walking past her room
    Too distracted to care
    Too indifferent to hear the muffled cries

    Why doesn’t she cry during the day?
    While she acts like she’s ok
    And tries to hide the hurt showing through
    Her glassy eyes

    This is the Kim Addonizio Poem

    My short story is historical, dating back to the times when the plague the black death was rampant. A young girl has to care for both her mother and father when they fall ill to it just as the rest of her small town.
