Flowers
By Jaya U.
January
Red carnation,
Bright buds
Waiting to bloom,
In the weak sun
Of the cold January
February
Blue iris,
New in spring
Headstrong and brave
Lover of February
March
Yellow daffodil,
A brilliance equal to light
Shining bright
The flower of March
April
Purple sweet pea,
Kind and generous
Spread far and wide
April’s flower of delight
May
Pink lily,
Outlined in white
Standing out
In a lonely pond
The splendid flower of May
June
Colorful roses,
Yet widely known in red
Fall’s heart
Warm June’s flower
July
White larkspur,
Blooming lightly
Shared by summer and spring
The lovely flower of July
August
Orange gladiolus,
Splendid and gorgeous
June’s love
But the flower of August
September
Purple and pink aster,
With her narrow leaves
The flower of September
October
Golden Marigold,
The flame of autumn
And the flower of October
November
Violet chrysanthemum,
Shared by summer and autumn
November’s flower of joy
December
Colorful poinsettia,
Bloomed in darkness
December’s flower of the dark
Black and White
By Suhrith B.
black and white, wrong and right
it may seem deceptive if you alter the perspective
one of them is truthful, another a liar
on will leave unscathed, the other in fire
but do we know for sure,
that the liar is in the fire?
anything can happen
whatever it may be
one thing will surely be found
that sliver of gray
that wisdom locked away
safe and sound
that sliver of middle ground
black and white, wrong and right
it is now clear, why they are here

Fight me if you dare
I will not give up to you
My heart’s in the mood
I will rise to you
For each day, will start anew
Though there is no tune
I may seem too odd
Though I am brave; I am me
Indefinitely
