Jerry's Cheese and Berries
By Anonymous, Coronado, CA
There once was a boy named Jerry
Who loved to eat cheese and berries
He picked from a tree
And was full of glee
That the berries were not harry
Jerry went back home today
So that he could share at the bay
He met with some pals... (more »)

Ever Be Again
Today we will take off our shoes.
We will laugh at the little things.
We will blow bubbles and draw rainbows,
because today our skies are blue.

The Meaning of Love?
By Kiana B., Alto, TX

Masquerade
I moved through over a decade

Hiding all my insecurities... (more »)

Idiosyncratic
Thoughts are mistaken for many plots.
When you think, others think not.
Ideas are tarnished as you soliloquize.
Eccentric as you know it, you realize;

Bad Influence Limerick
There was a naughty grownup named Syd,
But he always acted like a kid.
See he went and quit his job
To commit bank-jobs with Rob
But that don't compare to what HE DID! (more »)

Mt. Washington
Good authors are like beautiful trees,
pummeled by wind and brought to their knees,
blistering cold shutting them down;
gold, tattered leaves a humble crown.
But some writers live life covered up,
