The Final Push
Things are changing, Maybe for the worst or best, Hope it's for the best, Just going with the flow. Things are going to get hard, The pressure is upon us, Yet here we are, Standing to finish strong. It's here. It's time, It's upon us to decide— To finish fast, Or to finish strong. ...

Premium Member Upon finishing King Lear
I sometimes wonder who was there the day Shakespeare finished writing King Lear. Was he at home with his Annie? Or was he drunk off his fanny in the Tabard Inn, stroking the dark lady's hair? ...

If freshman year was aspirational and sophomore year was unhinged junior year was put up or shut up and senior year is a dash to the finish line This year’s on fast forward—and it’s for keeps every to-do list has value-laden questions things seem sharp edged, single use and intense it’s all about trajectories and ‘landing spots” Let’s wax poetic.. Produce now, or spend...

Finishing Line
FINISHING LINE It’s only temporary they say! It’s not the solution it’s a contribution You steal from people you love! You steal precious time You self destruct, they scream You around! You whore! You have nothing! You are nothing! Your life is a mess Be strong be great Can’t you be like this or that one! It’s the road you chose! You went out...

Starting At the Finishing Line and Crossed Words
Given that i have started now I may as well now finish what I began Surely shouldn't I As wouldn't it be pointless stopping now I have come thus far And pondering and wondering the how's and why I started down this path at all is derelict and reticent and frivelent at best As once this my very own box of Pandora's trick's is...

Finishing 8th Grade
Around this same exact time, Exactly one year ago. I wrote a really mediocre poem, About 7th grade moving "slow". But, boy, was I wrong. 8th grade is full of waiting. I've been at my school for 11 years, This month is just frustrating! Luckily, there's some "fun" ahead, Including our 8th grade trip. Yea, it sounds kinda lame, but still, It's one whole day...

Finishing 7th Grade
When teachers tell you at the beginning of May, "The end of school is 30 days away!" 30 days sounds like a piece of cake but look at the calendar. So many days filled with tests and volunteering, not laughter... So you prepare yourself for what is to come. Soon enough this school year will be done. -Written by Bridget (who,...

Eulogy of Tears
EULOGY OF TEARS (Chadwick Baseman's Tribute) By: Artistic poet Asleep against Earth, In the whiskey dark, Earthly time has stopped, Existence deletes, Slide the blade across your face, Totally gone blank, The career sink, Mind on the fritz, Out of sync, Disaster seeps, Closing in on shrink, The hurt is deep, Frustrated in my head. Rethinking on the sound of your breath Without fulfilling your dreams, you left In second you greet...

Premium Member Finishing Second
Finishing Second By: Tom Wright 1-8-2020 By finishing first I avoid feeling downcast, I see scant disparity from second to last. The victor always got to pick the plum, while second place donned a face of glum. In life, when I’ve failed to keep up the pace, I ended up an also ran, just taking up space. I’ve won some races by exhibiting...
