It's that time of year when leaves are falling, the wind is howling, days are getting shorter, and all the artists are debuting their holiday albums. Here at Sevenatenine, we know that the beginning of winter can be saddening, but we understand! So, grab some hot chocolate, stick in your earphones, blast that extra-festive music, and enjoy some poetry and artwork by your peers who feel the same way you do.
From,
Your relatable friends at Sevenatenine.

The Cards
Shuffle, lay, spread
Lay, spread, pick
Spread, pick, read
Pick, read, order
Read, order, cry
Order, cry, disbelief
Cry, disbelief, do it all again.

No Longer a Leaf
It lays there
It stays there
An example of what happens
Its light fading
The shadows of death come from the sides
Consuming
But there is still light left
One golden spot survives darkness
It will soon disappear
As it lays there
As it stays there

Storm
Lightning strikes
silent and sharp.
It answers the call of its brother, Thunder
By striking terror into people's racing hearts
Above the powerless neighborhood,
And fades as Hephaestus crafts more bolts
for Zeus to throw.
