Anjuli Dharna & Katie Johnson, CHS 10′– Bird Watching @ Creve Ceour Lake

DeAnna Pope, MICDS ‘12, Poetry
Seeing it again. Would be hell. Always hotter than hell. I could go jump off the balcony and be colder than in that room. The bedroom and the bathroom. Hastily, the makeshift door handle for the bathroom. The bored crickets in the bathroom. Lighting my only candle at night to keep me company in the bathroom. I even cried when I thought it was broken in the bathroom. I cried at night anyway. The crickets would hop under my bed and try to soothe my tears. I would draw images of a new rising sun. When the pencil would break, I would read my books. I was homesick for fiction novels. Which I would

The Act Drum roll please, as they takes Center Stage. Each in Bright Colors, my cousins– Family. They are on display. Center Stage–  in my House. Off to the side, I Stand, Bowler hat in hand, watching, orchestrating– Conducting? Right now they are the focus, Audience, the World, have a good look! the Plans I have– Unveil a disappearance, Severed abdominals? The choice is Mine. Minutes Pass, like years, and still they stand, There. 5  4  3  2 1 Gone. Just like that. Who chose? They to leave? No matter, I am alone.

Slingshot Stream Team Effort #1
Good Morning, Last week Elena, Diane and I went down to the urban stream Deer Creek in our area and picked up litter along the stream bank for an hour and a half. Between the three of us we  each picked up one load of trash. However, since it has been raining so much recently the stream was quite swollen making it hard to get to a lot of the trash. But between the three of us, I think we did a pretty good job. We are all very glad that our Stream Team is now officially set up and our next outing for Stream Team will be 11/7/09, so mark your calendars and I hope to see you out there with us! Anjuli Dharna
