Issue #46: short poetry

Oh cruel heav’n and earth, 
You nurture me ‘til this day
To wither and die. 

— Yaozhu “Charlie” Cheng (junior, history)


Lonely little bird, 
Don’t despair the dark of night. 
Wait; the dawn will come. 

— Olivia Finch (junior, English and classics)


Give me wisdom now 
Not in broken retrospect 
Honey on a burn 

— Avery Nowowiejski (junior, Spanish and English)


Autumn 

Death without pity 
Life renews itself, ending, 
Changing, leaf by leaf 

— Emma Wilkson (junior, English and history)


The Star

Behind the curtain 
Anxious and excitable 
She waits for her cue 

— Moira Kate Forrester (junior, theatre and classical education)
