As They Stroll On By

by Kiley McMahon ’20   As the tears fall from my solemn blue eyes, and as the children stroll on by, their guardians look at me, for they know my secret.   Their lingering stares melt my mind, for they are truly forever engrained.   The lifeless soul looks back at me, as I relive […]

Halloween Haikus

  “Dev missed school today.” “He missed it yesterday, too.” “So HE was the bait.” —Julia Zygiel ’19   A jagged smile smirks. Hollowed eyes stare in the dark.
