Ninth grade students at Holicong have recently been exploring figurative "darkness" in some concise but thought-provoking poems. What could better capture the doldrums that haunt us at winter's end? Hang in there everyone! Spring is just ahead!
In the Dark
Trapped, on a winding road that never ends
Lonely, no consultations with friends
Confused as to what leads next
Like reading lines but not understanding the text
Lost in your own state of mind
Reliving mistakes far back in time
Ideas scramble in your brain
Trapped, feeling anything but sane
Brook B., Grade 9
In the Dark
The sun fades away,
Takes over does the night.
No more stars that shine brightly,
Not a beam of light.
Lost and alone,
With the forest's eerie cry and tune.
Yet there is still hope,
We still have the moon.
Casey Z., Grade 9
