A Day In The Woods Hiking through the woods Unrelenting is the snow, Now I see a deer Time to pull up my bow. Imperfect is my aim Now I release the string Going over to claim my prize, I see that I'm a king. --Trevor Flint Cry of the wolf Through darkest night and cloudy sky Up the hills and across the grass I roam the fields and barrens dry To seek my end point through the mountain pass I prowl the night through untold gloom I see the dark side of the moon I sit and stare up at the fluorescent ball It is my cries that's most painful of all --Joey Forester | These are just a few of the
awesome poems our journalism class has submitted over the past school year.
There have been so many great poems we just did'nt have room for them
all. So here is just a small taste of the talent the writers at
Southern High possess. ![]() | |
They Will Cry No More He mapped out a life of stability with the Marines, Though he was already at war. A girlfriend and a baby, A long struggle was in store. She was scared but overwhelmed with an honest mothers love, God looked down from the heavens with a greater plan above. Along a busy highway; Morning mist still in the air, God looked down at his children and took away their every care. With one blunt hit it was over, The end had finally neared, Shane, Autumn and Caden lost all worry and all fear. And so our hearts still ache over our loved ones gone away, But he will come for us and we'll be together again someday. --Cari N. Holbrook Lie & Say You Don’t Love Me Anymore You hurt me deep inside, I numb myself and hide, lie and say you don’t love me anymore. At night I lay awake, ignore my empty ache. I cry, shiver and shake. Lie and say you don’t love me anymore. My heart must have deceived me, now that you don’t need me, all that sorry crap you feed me. Lie and say you don’t love me anymore. I begged for you to love me again, after you tore out my heart I announced the bitter end. I found someone new, he’s not just a friend, go on and pretend… Lie and say that you don’t love me anymore. Now you want my love again, you let your jealousy replace what’s true, you do not really love me, & I finally don’t love you… Lie to yourself now & say that you don’t love me anymore. --Cari N.

You’re So Ugly It makes me want to vomit every time I hear your name. How can you even look at me, when I can see your naked shame. Go ahead and hide in your bottle, you’re so disgusting, weak and low. Escape from all your feelings, numb yourself and let me go. You’re so ugly on the inside, you turn my stomach inside out. I don’t wanna see your face again, Id rather get the gout. So run away now, block out my memory & all we shared. Its so funny & ironic that I ever even cared. --Cari N. Holbrook | ||
