Select Poems−Youth Poetry
Part I


Beauty is
Emily K. Pratt

Beauty is a rainbow after a light spring rain.
 The caterpillars form their cocoons, and next spring
they will break away and be beautiful as can be, butterflies.

The birds will serenade us in a beautiful tune as the frost of winter melts away.
Flowers bloom and fields of fresh green grass go on for miles.
Beauty is the salty ocean water glistening at sunset.

Colorful fish swim gracefully through the bright blue water.
Dolphins glide through the busy ocean
and their children jump and play throughout the sea.

The peaceful ocean waves crash onto the shore,
 leaping, as if to say hello to everyone on the beach.

Beauty is the Earth.


Garden Home Outside Berlin
In Love
Jasmin Jimenez

in love
just in his prime
his family young

his hands
covered with evidence
of a welder, hands
that could make iron succumb to his will

could hold a child so gently
could caress a love's soft cheek
these hands so strong
yet sweet

he was my father
now he's deceased


Identity Crisis

Alex Flores

 

look at me now,

look deep in my eyes.

one side is truth

the other is lies.

you are me and i am you

were not for this glass,

this one would be two

this one would be two,

exactly the same

in both heart, mind, and name.

is it you in the mirror

is it me,

is it both

which one's alive

which one's the ghost

so mirror, mirror tell me true

is it me, or is it you?

 

 


Extinction/Separation
Jacob Gonzalez

No florescent colors
No tacos
No tamales
No language that I could ever understand
This isn't what I am
This isn't who I want to be
No Tejano music
No church
I won't be generalized
The only escape is suppression
No culture
No mosaic tiles of the Virgin Mary
Give me a choice
Bring me something new
Hide everything else


Habitat
Marcie Elias

in the pattern I see a face that
breaks off into the garbage can
sitting by her stove

the wise room has a vanity that
sees water that drips down from
the ceiling

wind flows in through the fan
mountains of gadgets and boxes
block out the light in the next room

then there are the ants that have
found shelter in his dinosaur
of a computer in the old den

the back door opens with a
long bird-like noise to a whole
new habitat
