National Poetry Month
April is National Poetry Month! The following work comes from Bryn Athyn College students: the first are haiku that were submitted anonymously to a BAC haiku contest; the final piece is a poem written by Bryan Martinez.
Stand in a meadow
You see the vastness of it
Yet the woods seem small
I sit in silence
Stars caress each leaf with light
Autumn, I thank you
You are powerful
Your dreams are attainable
Believe in yourself
Rain or Shine, We Fight
Don’t Give Up, For We Are Free
Believe In Yourself
What are Dreams Without An Imagination
What are Dreams Without An Imagination
What is Imagination without your Dreams
Dreams are made in the far distance within clouds
Imagination is held with one simple spell
It goes up and up like a helium balloon
With fire beneath its wings
As it touches the sky; the night sky
The Stars Above
The balloon pops
And
The fire beneath becomes an ocean of waves
A flame of oceans swimming in the sky
With one attached
Sunrise.
