Votaries of Money – by Gregorio Lentini 4C

Some are poor by the break of a night,
But are kings by some luck and a fight.
They sit on their throne,
Keeping all that they own,
Until grief turns their ego contrite.

A Simple Trip – by Anthony Caucci 5-5
Dr. Craig Clark woke up on a gloomy Tuesday morning after a long night of work. He immediately felt that something was wrong, something was missing. The bed sheets he hid behind were thrown about and the other side of the bed was empty. Craig called out for his wife Sidney thinking she would be downstairs, but he was rewarded with silence. Intrigued he got out of bed and wandered down to the main floor only to find an empty room. Although he desperately wanted to find his wife his eyes locked

The annoying sound of hunters killing with pleasure;
After the shot silence comes back and peace returns.
Birds flying, squirrels running, ducks swimming, wolves hunting;
And as all of nature takes its course time continues;
Right before the dark shadowed night arrives, beauty takes place;
The sun rises down through the trees and leaves a bright pink painted surface to the sky;
Birds stop flying, squirrels go to sleep, ducks fly away, insects stop buzzing and dead silence arrives;
The clouds disappear in the dark and leave space for the shinning stars;
Wolves howling to the illuminant full moon high up in the dark scary woods, the wolves taking power over silence with their howling melody of

It had been preceded by a much louder pop, and then a zing – a noise that, under normal circumstances, I might have mistaken for the buzz of a fly – they were close. I took off, crunching along the gravel of the side road. Thirty-seven, thirty-eight… I sighed with relief. Thirty-nine Newman Drive. I did as I had been told – tweeted twice like a canary and once like a robin. I stood there impatiently, nervously, waiting for the door to clang open. I decided to knock – still no response. I looked over my shoulder and saw that they had finally made it around the corner – I let out a grunt of annoyance and, turning away from the door, continued my run. It was cut short by the screech of tires, the slam of a door, and the crackling zap of electricity the Taser sent coursing through my body. The agony was repeated, and I slipped into

    I take a walk in Wissahickon Park after dropping my twins at their school. The trails are muddy from heavy rains and temporary streams have formed along my path. (I have an hour before I need to open my laptop and get to work on my day job; not all poets do whatever they like.) The fuscia flowers of the redbud tree are brilliant against the green of early leafing shrubs. Birdsong is all around me. I note some of the birds--if they are bright enough and close enough to the trail or I recognize their song. A few chipmunks scurry among the leaves on the forest floor. A cardinal lights on a branch nearby, a red flash. A robin lands on the trail ahead, scraping his yellow beak against a rock.…

    The lake was surrounded by all kinds of trees: sugar maple tree, camphor tree,etc. At the center of the lake, there were a few huge trunks lied down the peaceful lake. On the trunks, there were some ducks “quack” around as if they were planning to have a sunbath party. Around those the ducks, there were a few birds hovering in the blue sky. The sound of chirping spread and penetrated quickly through the air, leaving the all forest the impression of both tranquility and delightfulness.…

    You feel the cool air warm up around yourself. There is a pleasantness that can only be found in these warm winter days. Birds squawk overhead. In a pack they fly in v’s. You wanted to fly, but the dream fled after you jumped off the deck. Birds gain height, you gained a broken arm. The birds slow and descend onto the small patch of grass to your left. Wildlife is all around you, but the adults don’t seem to notice. Not far ahead, a squirrel shoves acorns into his mouth, climbing up a tree he deposits his cache into a hole. He runs down the tree to start the process again. Nature is a cycle, a loop that won’t…

    At 4am dispatch received a call from the resident at 137 West Alexander Drive, who claimed to have heard a scream from his neighbours house. Captain Jason Long turned the case over to Officer Brice Tyler, Officer Lily Rayne, and I. At approximately 4:30am we arrived at the house knocking on the door. The young man answered with a smile on his face. I had noted that he seemed wide awake, as if he had been up for some time, as he invited us inside. We told him of our cause of being there, and he immediately told us the old man was visiting his sister in another town. He did not give us more details. instead, he showed us that the old mans belongings were exactly in there proper place. Afterward, he asked us to sit down in the bedroom, chatting easily about his evening. Soon after, he seemed to become agitated, raising his voice and speaking angrily. He was soon pacing and hitting the table, threatening us to make us stop agonising him, even though we did not say a threatening word to him.…

    The sky is clear as the deep blue sea. The main focal point was the bright orange full moon, which is accented by the glitzing stars. The reflection of the moon stretched across the lake in the country pasture to my left. The wavy water caused the moon to move as if it was a boat in the middle of the lake. I strolled along the wooden bridge as the moderate, meek breeze brushed the hairs on my skin and my nose. There was a continuous melody of insects singing, while the owls, frogs, crickets, and other night creatures blended in like background singers. The planes soared through the sky, displaying an array of lights, which appeared to be shooting stars. The deer and foxes, as well as other wildlife, welcomed themselves to their playground as they ran, jumped, crept, and played…

    Each new day begins with a sunrise. It brings to earth a new light that has never been seen before. The new light starts small and gradually reaches its peak in the vast sky. It nourishes the land, provides warmth and comfort, and inspires epic tales. As the day ages the light slowly sinks behind the horizon leaving behind brilliant splashes of color as if to reflect upon its accomplishment, but the pallet of colors will quickly fade to black as the light leaves the sky to go to places unknown. Even though the day was bright and created wonder it must give way to the tranquil, mysterious, and cool night.…

    From art posters to art in literature, we don't always show the wolf's good side. When the wolf is portrayed as something evil, all we see are big, yellow, glow-in-the-dark eyes that seem to be hypnotic if we look at them long enough and a snarling mouth baring these long, ferocious fangs. The wolf's fangs can be quite intimidating for they can reach two and a quarter inches in length; they are strong, sharp, and slightly curved. We not only see the wolf, we hear the wolf also. A wolf howling at the moon is often locked into our imaginations. A wolf howls and most people listen with fear, some even grab their guns. This is what we call "Fear of the Unknown". If the weather conditions are right, a wolf's howl can be heard up to ten miles away, and can last from one half a second to about eleven seconds. An ancient misconception of the wolf's howl is that, although the howling wolves were far away, people firmly believed the wolves were howling at their particular door. This is where the popular phrase, "Let's keep the wolf from the door," came about.…

    The forest seems quiet now, too quiet. Every infrequent crackle of a leaf beneath me, or sound of a tree branch being snapped in half behind me has me alert at attention as if I were a Rottweiler spotting an unknown enemy approaching my premises. Little mice paws patter up and down my back leaving little chills, as I hear the howling commence once…

    We swerved into a dark driveway and caught our breath. “Let’s stay off the road,” I gasped just as a person’s shout echoed into the night. Suddenly, the rapid rattle of rifle fire burst through tree branches with colossal force, a short shower of death whizzed around us. The bullets ricocheted off houses and splinters of wood and dust hovered in the air like a small sand storm. The hurricane of dust impaired our vision for a few seconds, choking us, slowing us down.…

    What strikes you first is the smell in the air. There is nothing quite like the scent of burning wood—almost like incense. It fits perfectly with the chill. You walk farther, beyond the clearing that surrounds the house, and suddenly you are on a path beneath tall pine trees. As a strong breeze rises, the trees make an eerie, whispering sound. It is not exactly a rustle; it is more like a rush. You recall reading once that the sound of wind in pines is the sound of eternity.…
