Whirlwind 10th Anniversary Edition: Longfellow's Literary Magazine for 2019-2020

Whirlwind
Divided borders of our Friendship
~Samara C.
Hurricane
The June sun beats down on the Atlantic
As a warm breeze blows over the ocean
But a storm system forms that’s gigantic
Setting a hurricane into motion
Above the water forms a rotation
As Cumulus Mediocris clouds rise
A hurricane is now in formation
It is incredibly massive in size
Beaufort Scale twelve winds are blowing around
A huge synoptic low pressure system
Now the hurricane is headed to ground
It’s flooding entire ecosystems
Storm surges and flash floods along the coast
If you survived one, you’re stronger than most
~Jaiden K.
Singing
Sounds full of feelings traveling to be
heard
I can’t wait to be singing so that you could
hear me
No one could imagine the feeling of this
Going through the world and ending up
here
In every way I know to express me
Never would imagine a method like this
Ground, sky, and everyone here, I want
you to know that I love singing
~Valentina S-P.
River
The river flows fast
Currents will pull you under
A beautiful force
~Natalia C.
Life
Going in and out
Never knowing what will happen
Such a mystery
~Meg M.
