“Spring and Winter”
By Aaron Sauter
A young child,
Like a curious critter,
Peaked its head around a slumbering
Giant called Winter.
But after fritter a moment,
The giant awoke!
“No one shall take my kingdom!” He spoke.
“Please Winter!” Said the child
“I wish only to bring people feelings of joy and to make them smile.”
Alas, the giant made clear,
With a slam of his fist and a sneer,
“As long as I am here!” the giant roared
“I will not let you become the lord!”
“But Winter sir!” the child murmured
“You have had your turn and the people feel cornered”
Much to the child’s chagrin
The Giant just lay there
With a mischievous grin.
"This is my first time writing poetry."

“HEY NOT COOL”
By S. J. McCoy
Two poems in a flash
Went by the wayside into the trash.
I will not repeat them, not worth the effort!
All gone, never finished, lost in cyber space.
They left me hanging with not a trace.
Computer glitch or wrong key hit
Actually it matters not a bit.
I think it is telling me just to quit!
"My friends from the senior writers encouraged me to write a poem --
here it is -- even if just for fun. (This was inspired when I lost 2 poems I was writing for class.)"
