A Secret From Hell, Poetry by Holly Cook

 A taunting secret,
I must keep.
It constantly haunts me
even as I sleep.
I tucked it way down
in the deep,
but to the surface
it begins t slowly creeps.

Lives will be lost
if this demon gets out.
So into my pillow,
this secret, I shout.

I am very trustworthy
at keeping things silent,
but this horrendous thing
is making me violent.

Someone I know
got weak, you see,
and those vicious words
were passed to me.

I made a promise
not to tell.
Now, my once happy life
is unwanted hell.

Genre: Life

Dear Mr. Chandler, Poetry by Chaitali Kolgaonkar

Genre: Love.

[Hey you Mr. Chan out there.
Miss Chanadler Bong,
Yes you.
Do you even know,
what’s happening.
Does it even bother you ?
There is this random girl
At the other end.
Turning into Mon just for your sake.

She has cooked a million stories
How you would meet,
Organised all dates
And cross referenced it.
Though being moustache obsessed
She has settled for a clean shaven Bing.
Oh Dear Mr. Chan Chan Man,
Where have you been.

Is she looking out too far
And you have been around,
Or should she travel to another Nation
For a wedding profound.
Fall head over heels,
Fight for her needs.
And get her what she dreams ,
One of each kind atleast.

That’s all dear Bunny she has to say.
Waiting for your call kneeling near the teller.
Hope to see you soon,

Yours & Only yours
Hermonica Geller….]

Regret, Poetry by Ella Godinez

 I think that I’m starting to move on
It’s not easy but just carry on
I’ve done all the things that could distract me from thinking about him
But I just really could not get rid of my feelings towards him

My heart was broken like a glass that fell from a table
At first I thought we were unbreakable
Everything that I think about you was wrong
Didn’t know that loving you could turn out wrong

We were once so happy
When I haven’t tell you yet this kind of feelings that makes me giddy
Everytime you sit and talk to me
There’s still no awkward feeling you get when you’re with me

I now regret all the wrong decisions I made
All of the things you said cuts like a blade
You won’t even care when you see me bleed
If there’s a bidding to save me you wont bid

But hey, guess what?
Thanks for all of that
Now I know what I really want
Not a guy that would just taste a gum and spit it out

You wasted your chance
You already got me in your hands
But you still chose to break my heart
Now, goodbye,I wont be chasing a guy that has a cold stone heart

Genre: Rhyme, Relationship, Romance

    Farewells of Mt Auburn – Poetry Reading by Mark Curtis Dunn

    Poetry performed by Michelle Alexander

    Get to know the winning poet:

    POETRY 7 questions:

    What is the theme of your poem?

    The main theme of “Farewells of Mt. Auburn” is honoring the lives of the departed. A major subtheme is eternal life.

    How would you like people to respond when they read or watch your poetry reading?

    When people read the poem or watch the reading, I would like them to be transported with visual, emotional, and tactile experience.

    How long have you been writing poetry?

    I have been writing poetry for about fifty years.

    Do you have a favorite poet?

    If I have to choose a favorite – there are many – at this time in my life I would choose Robert Frost.

    What influenced you to submit to the Poetry Festival and have your poetry performed by a professional actor?

    I have submitted other material to Wildsound (at least one screenplay) and I had noticed that you had a poetry section as well. So I decided to share this poem.

    Do you write other works? scripts? Short Stories? Etc..?

    I have written several screenplays across genres. Some short stories. I have recently completed a one-act stage play which I submitted to a local theater for reading.

    What is your passion in life?

    I have a passion for many things in life which include: asserting individual freedom against tyranny, savoring artistic free expression in aesthetic terms, and a desire to resonate a literary work with an audience, with the highest preference aimed at creating a work that contributes an archetype that finds its way into everyday life. Commercial rewards help, but I realize I might not see that in my lifetime. That’s another story.

    Ground Zero – Poetry Reading by Melissa R Mendelson

    Poetry performed by Michelle Alexander

    Get to know the winning poet:

    POETRY 7 questions:

    What is the theme of your poem?

    The theme is to not forget because as more time passes, we do forget, sometimes even the worst moments of our life.

    How would you like people to respond when they read or watch your poetry reading?

    To remember. We need to remember especially in the world that we are living in.

    How long have you been writing poetry?

    I’ve been writing poetry since high school. I even won a Reflections Award for one of my poems, which might have actually been in the eighth grade. I recently found this certificate buried among other items in the basement.

    Do you have a favorite poet?

    My favorite author is Stephen King, but as for a poet, I have found a multitude of talent on a website called, HitRecord. The poets there among the many other dozens of artists are amazing and brilliant.

    What influenced you to submit to the Poetry Festival and have your poetry performed by a professional actor?

    I have written many, many poems over the years. The older ones… Well, some shouldn’t see daylight, but I have seen how my poetry has progressed over the years. And the ones that I have written such as “Ground Zero” have their own voice, which needs to be heard.

    Do you write other works? scripts? Short Stories? Etc..?

    Yes. I have actually just finished writing my fist novel, Lizardian, and I’ve had a lot of short stories published in the past. Some can still be found on Gadfly Online and others on HitRecord.

    What is your passion in life?

    Writing.
