As the Seasons Are Written

By Joshua Simones

As the seasons

are written,

there are only

a few

who are not

courageous,

and therefore

say their “adieu.”

Like January, so

chilly, so breezy,

so brisk,

standing alone

in the cold

is not worth the risk,

And April so gloomy,

filled with fog and the rain.

The weather in April is not at all sane.

Groundhog

By Demir B.

Groundhog

Shmoundhog

Whoops fell down hog

See your shadow go and sleep

More of winter that can’t be beat

See daylight 

That is neat

See your friend eating a beet!
