My Experience in a Vegan Household

Love – Katie Kempter

When it’s good it’s great, When it’s bad it’s worse. But all of my thoughts, Are always you first.

There comes a time when love is no longer enough; Respect and reassurance is what I need. And while letting go can be tough, I need to put myself first in order to succeed.

What was once so good, Has now lost its spark. What once brought me joy, Now makes me feel dark.

When the time comes that I decide to let you go, Just know that I wanted nothing more than for it to be us in the end. I have to give myself the chance to grow, But I’ll always love you, even if just as a friend.

The darkness sits in the sky Waiting for the sun to appear And climb into the horizon clear On that beautiful morning in July. The colors from this supply A piece of art above the frontier, With just a tiny smear Of white from clouds passing by. As the sun rises higher The sky goes from pink to blue. It seems as if its only desire Is for you to look up at it too, And think not of anything prior But be captivated by this view.

Cottage in the Woods – Lexi Leese

The vines climb up the wall And moss covers the stone, As if it was to be known As some sort of protocol. The chimney doesn’t stand as tall Its fallen bricks now lie alone. The plants are far past overgrown Even in this cold season of fall. The brown shutters turned black And the front door was split The once beautiful cottage looks more like a shack Than anyone would want to admit. Nature always takes back What truly belongs to it?

Flowers

Down by the river There laid a flower, She hopes he would forgive her For leaving him at that hour.

Looking out at the water Holding the flower towards her heart, She remembered what he mother taught her, She thought she was smart.

She sighs and turns around, Once she hears a sound. She turns around astounded To see him at the picnic ground.

He comes to her with another flower in his hands, And the look in his eyes shows that he understands.
