Stars<br />
Lydia Fernandez<br />
<strong>The</strong> sun sets,<br />
A soft orange glow fading,<br />
<strong>The</strong> sky is painted an inky black.<br />
Wisps of wind,<br />
Whistling as night falls.<br />
Slowly a paintbrush dabs the sky,<br />
And there you see hundreds,<br />
Even thousands,<br />
Of beautiful stars.<br />
How’d it get So Quiet?<br />
Alexandra Galarza<br />
How‟d it get so quiet?<br />
<strong>The</strong> face dried in cement.<br />
<strong>The</strong> smile, once alive,<br />
Now lies dormant.<br />
<strong>The</strong> heart would beat,<br />
Beat like a drum.<br />
Until the moon disappeared<br />
At the arrival of the sun.<br />
<strong>The</strong> eyes closed their doors,<br />
Locked them with chains.<br />
<strong>The</strong> hinges screeched no more.
