  November (Sonnet 12)

  

  By raeherron, Lewis Center, OH

  November sunsets under which we play, We pass gold frosted fields and sparkling lakes. Explore our hometown like bright eyed new babes My eyes do feel more open as of late. More open to the changes that we are, Do you see how you’ve become something else? Will you, butterfly, follow seasons ...

  Our Days and Nights

  

  By raeherron, Lewis Center, OH

  These are the times When we sleep on the floor Having coffee at midnight The next day falling on the shore Toppling amongst the waves And trying hard to be the sun We’re staying up each night For the end of what had begun With a sunrise and cool air. And we are sleepy eyed still. We...

  My Love's Not A Ghost

  

  By raeherron, Lewis Center, OH

  I saw the planes overhead, And I covered my ears. I should've hidden my eyes, There wouldn’t have been tears. But every bomb was dropped, The bursts shattered my home. My hands hunt through the rubble Someone say I'm not alone. Can you cry out to me? Let me know you're...

  Scream

  

  By raeherron, Lewis Center, OH

  Scream, goes the train And he's riding away. Mother watches him go, But he misses her wave. Scream, goes Captain Barking to the fresh meat, Who scream in their nightmares Fear of more than defeat. Scream, goes our soldier, With the blood on his shoes. Scream, goes his mother When...
