“An Egg”
(Modeled after Gertrude Stein’s “A Long Dress” from Tender Buttons)
By Kaitlyn Ashbeck
What is the block that makes a shell, that makes it peep, what is the crow that pops a sanders and a feathered foot. What is the block.
What is the universe, what is it?
Where is the bone, it is there where the china sprouts. Only a red and speckle are brown, only a white and beige are pink, a black is blue. A pocket distinguishes it. A pocket just distinguishes it.
"After taking American Literature II with Ocie Kilgus, I have learned about the crazy poetic style of Gertrude Stein. Sometimes, what we do or say doesn't have to make sense! It's taking a simple object and exploring what it has the potential to be!”

“Rainy Day Sunshine”
By Don Schindhelm
All your life – you’ve been up and down
Listening to people sing the blues
But you don’t have to pay those dues
Turn on some better news – All your life
Rainy day sunshine – inside you all the time
Rainy day sunshine – chasing the clouds away
“Taken from my original song by the same name.”
