Grapplefruitanate
by Chloe Macdonald

I went to a fancy dance
wore a skirt instead of pants
If I won, I’d get romance
I went to live beneath a rock
didn’t have a door to knock
inked out pictures of a sock
I went to walk out on a string
pretended I was wearing wings
then I went to go swimming
I went to a house of nonsense
enjoyed all its crazy contents
hopefully crazy will win this contest!



Memory

by Ethan Macdonald

Looking out to sea recalls my grandpa’s stately home

And of the sandy shores nearby, waves splashing me with foam

And every day, the sports my friends and I played long and loud

And the honorary seashell that the champions held up proud

I often spent my summers in that sleepy, dreamlike town

The salty air, the little shops that lined the streets of cobblestone

On one adventure down the coast, my sisters and I found

A ragged rope we guessed had held a pirate’s captive bound

The daring struggle in the darkness ‘neath  the cliffs along the shore

Was passed off by our grandma as a fiction, nothing more

Grandpa, on the other hand, spun us fictions every day

But I see his smile fading now that Grandma’s passed away

As we stand here dressed in black hearing how she will be missed

Grandpa glances at the heart pierced by an arrow inked on his wrist

When he gets up to speak, I think once more of wide, blue seas

As he says these few and simple words:

“We should be glad of memories”


Scream
by Audrey Kunz

Fill my ears and grip my throat/I pretend that I've forgotten how to say/These words that rest under my tongue like cotton/And with smoke in my windpipe, my mouth is dry/What beast is this, so fragile that/The mention of its name could break it?/Yet it holds me fiercely, leaves me terrified/I can't find the strength to make a sound/While inside there builds/A scream.


Hidden
by Cecie Reese

Water drips to puddles,
Echoes in the dark.
A hidden gold,
Without a single mark.
An orb of paint,
Pressed into skin.
Led to by rope,
On lands that it is in.
What award,
is this here?
Lying in the dark,
That it might disappear.


Broken Ball
by Kaylyn Fletcher

The dancers flash by
One stands alone
His eyes searching
For his only goal

He searches for the lady
With a mark covering her shoulder
She eludes him
And he desires for her presence

He fixes his tux
And with a bow to a lady
He takes his leave
Hoping to draw her out

His heart broken
He leaves the ball
In hope for a better day
He will come back


Light and Dark
by Michael Hardman

Darkness surrounds and never relents
It is difficult to find my way around
It drains my energy and I am all spent
For now, I will drown

Even though it may seem impossible
But there is light to be seen
The darkness is very hostile
But it can’t hide the scene

The light continues to grow
The light continues to shine
The light brings warmth
The light brings hope

The darkness begins to fade
The darkness begins to hide
The darkness cowers away
The darkness is gone

Here you are guys! These are our contest entrants and their poems. I am creating a poll to go with this post, and I want all of YOU to vote on your favorite poem. The poll will be open until the 24th of April and I will announce the results on the 25th! Thank you to all of you who participated and good luck.

Spring Break! Is Over?!

By
Something sad just happened yesterday, spring break ended! But there is an upside to it, it means that there is just over a month left of school and then it is time for summer!! Last week was a blast, though I'm mostly talking about what happened Friday and Saturday. The first part of the week, leading up to Friday, was pretty boring as the only thing I really did was go to the mall once with some friends (shopping NOT allowed, I DESPISE shopping) and we did some fun stuff together there. Friday, I went down to Mesquite with my family and my BFFTLEWE Sam (check out Radio Rebel to understand) and it was a blast! We went swimming in the huge pool at the hotel on Friday and saw the movie Home, which is pretty funny. There was a LOT of picture taking. Saturday, we swam some more and then we went to St. George and went shopping (Sam and I spent most of our time in the Cowboys and Indians store). There was a LOT of picture taking that day as well, especially at the pool and in the ca...

Creating Love Triangles

By
We've all read those books where there is a love triangle going on between three characters, main or side, and you just don't know who you want to get together in the end. I find those the best kind of love triangles, because if there is always one where you are automatically and always on this one side then it just doesn't feel like a proper love triangle cause you know exactly who you want to end up together and who is going to end up together. Boring, right? Now, it's time to create love triangles all on your own and make it so that your readers cannot decide who they want to end up together, it makes them more invested in the story this way. First, you need your main character of the triangle. Usually it's a girl with two boys, but you can switch it up a bit and make a boy with two girls. Let's make a love triangle where it's a boy with two girls, just turn away from the social normal and be ourselves now. Alright, let's make our main character s...
