Happy autumn everyone! Welcome back to the 2017-18 edition of the Sevenatenine literary magazine. As the leaves blow off the trees, we will blow your minds with these amazing pieces of work from our very own students. We had some great work 'fall' into our hands (get it?) this month, and we're ecstatic to share it all with you. From a variety of authors and artists from the Holicong hallways, we present the October edition of Sevenatenine!

Writer
Mocking, jeering, tantalizing,
My editor is still revising,
And slowly I am realizing
My inspiration tranquilizing,
That he is scarcely analyzing,
My editor is compromising!
He is greatly jeopardizing
What I set on emphasizing;
He sits intent on scrutinizing
And on the way, demoralizing,
Until I look, unrecognizing,
At my words, unappetizing,
And at his words, I start uprising,
As we argue, polarizing.
I wait for his apologizing,
But ne’er it comes, to my despising,
So I cease my vocalizing
That his words were vandalizing
And I commence my synthesizing
Reasons for the organizing
Of my words and fantasizing.
My editor is neutralizing
And he stops his terrorizing.
Of course I’m not done satirizing
(And vastly romanticizing)
The excruciating, agonizing
Procedure of authorizing.

Just Because
Just because I have special needs
It doesn't mean that I can't talk like a normal person
It doesn’t mean that I'm not smart
It doesn’t mean that I can't understand.
Just because I have special needs
I'm not a freak
I'm not selfish
I'm not dumb.
Just because I have special needs
I can understand my surroundings
I can enjoy my life
I will not stop.
Because I have special needs
I am strong and inspiring.

Mailman
Hermes flies around the block,
Zooming to each house
He comes bearing messages,
Great gifts from the Amazon
Spiteful and quick,
Every family has a letter from the gods.
He then ascends to Olympus
Preparing for the next day's work
