Poetry
by Taylor Rogers ’24
Green ribbons greedily grow,
Spilling out of their small pots
Like humans, they reach for the stars,
Traveling higher and higher
Diligently, I water these tiny ribbons,
Watching keenly as they grow
They steal from the soil below them,
Clinging onto miniscule buds of water
As they grow, they begin to invade my space,
Creeping over my shoulder as I read
The ribbons become darker,
Matching the color of the vivid forest outside
With my succulents, I grow,
Aiming for the glittery sky
The two of us grow together,
Continuously hoping that one day, we will fly
