My childhood dog inspired me for this poem. He was my favorite dog he grew up with me and I loved him very much. Lots of people have a pet that they have had since they were young and its hard to see them go so I wrote this to touch peoples hearts and connect with others about this experience. I am proud of getting words to rhyme in this poem. I used imagery and emotional connection in this poem.

What inspired this poem was the prompt being two sides so I thought of things that are opposite as they can be seen as two very different sides and with that I could make comparisons to things like yin and yang and use juxtaposition so I chose chaos and calm both are present in life and can be seen through the world. The idea and message I was trying to convey in this poem is that though people may have different opinions on the subject of calm and chaos or have preferences

I was inspired to write this by the results on the poetry dice we rolled in Creative Writing, which landed on a very fun saying. I took it and ran with it, and made this poem. I’m proud of the anaphora I used, and feel it was well done.

This poem, much like the first, was inspired by my enjoyment of sugar; however, I also tried to get across the degree of addiction I have to it, as well as a transition into a simile for the romantic love that I’ll never feel, due to being aro-ace. I made it much more dramatic than I actually feel about it.

Ian Horn/ Mr. Horn. The lines and stanzas in this poem are structured according the three color codes that make its name. These color codes are that of the Colorado State University green which happens to be the exact same green that the Prek-12 school I attended growing up also uses. When I first came to CSU I was astonished to see the same green that I had been surrounded by in my youth follow me to the place I considered my new beginning. Through looking at the colors rele

"No Trouble to Me" was originally a senseless patchwork of a few months' worth of thoughts and feelings, overflowing with attempts at putting into words what is, in reality, something like feeling your heart implode in your chest. In the end, it is meant to explain a perception of the trust and risk, and the give in take, in relationships. Nobody walks through it unscathed, for better or worse, but it remains something worth diving headfirst into over and over again.

"The Woman Robed in White" is a short story inspired by Janis Mikhailovich Rosenthal's 1897 painting titled Nāve (Death).

I created this sonnet after my cat gently woke me in the middle of the night with a claw to my face. Written by a teacher in distress, Lauren Cowart.

Chloe, Poetry, Poetry is a reflection of my soul. It is soul in writing, a thing only art can achieve. This piece can be interpreted many ways. I wrote it with the struggle between potential and action in mind. Standing at the threshold of becoming, knowing once you choose a path you can not return. As humans we are raw potential (unformed stone) and often defined by others before we realize ourselves. Though there are doubts and fears, you perservere and choose to create you

Chloe, Poetry, I love to write poetry as I feel it is a reflection of the soul. It allows you to put your soul onto a piece of paper, a way for anyone to read your soul and resonate with it themselves. This Piece is about the burden of knowledge, the beauty and the terror of consciousness.
