March Nicks Poems

Ink on the page,
painting pictures of life,
of death, and all the things between.
Prompted to write for a moment of escape,
...

Our mother cradles us to sooth our pain
She covers us in a hedge of protection
Keeping out the monsters that lie under our beds
Waiting for the right moment as we sleep our dream away
...

Time is fleeting, our days depleting
We have to get this right

Polar bears are starving,
...

As children, our cries are hushed
Our parents beg us not to make a scene
Sit down, be calm, be quiet
Don't draw attention
...

It could happen to you
The news make's it seem so foreign
People crying
Asking questions
...

Let's pause for a moment of silence

Columbine
Heritage

Dear Emilie,

They say your smile could light up a room
You were bright and creative
...

Hunkered down
In a
Dark room
We wait
...

A tiny blue dot floats through the void
As it approaches, so much more is revealed
Mountains that reach high into the clouds
Kissing the atmosphere
...

Ahem, we call this meeting to order.
An official gathering of
The Banned Books Club.
Please stand
