Super creative Teen Poetry Happens teens gathered on Tuesday, October 13 in "play on words" costumes for another round of artistry and wordplay. I have been putting them out on Facebook for folks to guess. See if you know what the costumes are as you scroll down through the poetry, art, and photos.Everyone is excited to return to the Lucas Mansion at the Hiddenite Arts and Heritage Center on November 10. They will craft a new poem from imagery collected at the Hiddenite Festival of the Arts on September 26. Interested high school teens need to contact me at the library if they need a ride.
Enjoy trying to decipher the costumes! You can leave comments below if you like.
“Missing You Is Easy, Letting Go Is Hard”
by Hunter
Addington
Now
your ashes, nightmares
still
haunt me.
Tell
me
Tell
me
what
you want to hear.
Tell
me and I’ll make it disappear.
Tell
me your nightmares,
welcome
me into your head.
I’ll
show you dreams,
a
different life.
“leaves” by Cheyenne Chumley
crisp leaves
burning
burning
burning
smoke
billowing through the air
into my
lungs
the scent
reminds me of you
somehow
crisp leaves
crackling
under my
feet
comforting
to my ears
red, yellow,
orange,
harsh
against blue sky
October
rainbow
greets my
eyes
again, I am
reminded of you
although I
can’t pinpoint why
but I guess
the thought of you
is reason
enough
“Marvelous” by Riley Addington
Interesting
conversation
with dust
bunnies, holy
avocadoes, French
kiss
hard at work,
sails are merging.
At first you
fear the worst
then beauty
comes out,
makes the
most amazing thing.
Poetry is a
mirror to life, reflects
pain, joy,
pride, sorrow, and envy.
If really mad, take the mirror,
smash it to smithereens.
Choice is
yours if you want to show
the world what
is in the mirror
or if you
want to hide it.
Rock on!
Mel
