The Creak by: Harper Kelsey ’24
the creak
of a rocking chair
on a December evening
the flip
of a page
of a book
by Terry Pratchett
is comforting
Tick, Tock by: Sophia K. ’24
Tick Tock, Tick Tock.
I hear my clock say
My clock is urging me, pleading me
To go where I need to go today.
I lay in bed thinking
Late at night
Nothing amusing me
But my thoughts
I hear a silence in my house
Everyone left me alone
I only hear a quiet Tick Tock
As I gaze around my home.
Tick Tock, Tick Tock.
I hear my clock say
My clock is urging me, pleading me
To go where I need to go today.
I look at the clock on my wall
A trustworthy friend of mine
Always reminding me
Of things I have forgotten
With a quiet Tick Tock.
Ocean Waves by: Allison R. ’24
Woosh, Woosh
I hear when I fall asleep
I hear when I wake up
I hear on my happiest days
The ocean crashing onto the shore
The ocean hitting my feet
The calming noise is my music that I
Close my eyes to every night
The waves are the sound of summer ringing in
The opened windows.
The sound that makes me smile.
The sound that I miss the most throughout the year.
The ocean,
The soul of the sea
And my relaxing background music made my nature.
As I hear the ocean crashing, it is hard not to smile.
As I hear the ocean crashing, I think of all the amazing summer memories.
As I hear the ocean crashing, I can feel my heart smiling and my bones racing with excitement.
As I hear the ocean crashing, I gently close my eyes and fall asleep,
Knowing that tomorrow will be another amazing day that the ocean will lead me to.
