Poetry

Blissful

by Maggie Clark

Bliss is a chemical created by the warm air

in late May

in small batches to be rationed out

over the following months.

First

    it is inhaled next

it travels swiftly to your brain,

aiming to numb the senses,

while targeting your dopamine receptors

and flooding them.

and what else is there to feel

                    but

                        good, while

your happiness centers are drowning

and what else is there to do

                    but

welcome

the addictive substance and

try to capture it in a bottle so

later you can cut yourself open and

pour it directly into

            your veins.

 

Queen B- a haiku by Maggie Clark

Beyonce Carter

has blessed this world with her twins.

We are not worthy.

 

Grades- a tanka by Maggie Clark

Midterms are this week.

Time to break out the champagne

to celebrate moi

and my fairly average grades.

Pray my gpa won’t tank.

 

Lorenzo by Maggie Clark

His name is Lorenzo di’Medici.
