Gathering (Poetry for a Digital Era 1)
Poem by: Noah Towbin Everything is dark, At least it feels that way. Someone else should be here, But all I know is myself. The silence is oppressive, And nothing, nobody moves to end it. I hear only the dearth of sound, I see only my reflection in the darkness. Then, as if prompted by … Continue reading Gathering (Poetry for a Digital Era 1)
Vous Verrez
Poem by: Caroline Levine Vous Verrez Parfois on voit la tragédie. On pense à la haine et à la maladie. Dansant dans le noir de la nuit, on ne voit pas tout on suit. On reste timide comme la lune de laquelle, l’amour--il n’y a aucune! La ciel est tout seul pendant ce temps tempétueux, … Continue reading Vous Verrez

The Traveler
Written by: Ronak Kanodia It felt like he was lost deep in a dream,Wandering a crumbling kingdom, the end of a regime.An ocean of black clouding his eyes,The feeling of peace, a cacophony of lies A single trail awaits, clouded in mist,A now-black dolphin in a tale with a twist,All alone with a legacy that … Continue reading The Traveler

Written by Nikita Patel You may break us down Into shards of razor-thin glass That tumble from the upper-sphereLike a hurricane of deadly hailYou may splinter our broken heartsUntil our breath is crimson-red And our wings of stellar hope Are tattered and maimed You locked us in a house of glassThat reeks of lime and loneliness You laugh at our … Continue reading Hope in the Dark
