Winter Candy
by Nicole Amaral '10
A delicious confection
Of warm winter wonder,
Snow settling like sugar
Onto the tips of our hair,
Sweet frozen frosting
Crunching beneath our feet.
And we danced,
Down crystallized slopes,
Crashing into piles
Of saccharin oblivion.
Melted drips navigate
The contours of your face,
Settling like pools of syrup
In the lines of your smile.
The distant sun heats
Gently from within,
Solidifying sweet candy
Of the day gone by.
Drino's Pumpkin
by Alex Donnelly '10
let us retrace our boots backwards into the dust, a straight line in reverse
soar to the highest point that there is on our block, emergency meeting!
inside Drino's pumpkin there is candlelight for the kids to all enjoy
but it likes to distract with all sorts of neon lights and free animals
how do you think they know to play your favorite show right before your bedtime?
but some people just prefer to put their wallet on that shelf, beside the door.
you know, the one 60 Minutes advised against going anywhere near?
we should accept the fact that strafing is just the best known way to survive.
I never really meant to get to hell
and now I really don't feel that well
I guess they say you're not always safe
but all I say, is hit the c-button to strafe!
BECAUSE!
Drino's pumpkin snaps an image of
every single trick-or-treater
that comes to his pretty house
on Halloween at 3 years old
and saves the info, then sells it to the folk that want it
now holding the key to the back of your house
