Trust (Inspired by “Harlem” by Langston Hughes), a poem by Daniel, 10

Post Published June 7, 2020 by Daniel Zhu

Trust (Inspired by "Harlem" by Langston Hughes) Daniel Zhu, 10 What happens to trust vanished? Does it reappear Out of thin air? Does it painfully regrow like a half-alive tree? Does it haunt you- A ghost in your dreams? Does it leave you as empty- nothing but a shell? Does it destroy you and Crush you underfoot? Or does it leave you wondering If trust Can be attained At all?

Our Fate is Sealed, a poem by Otis Knoop, 12

Post Published June 1, 2020 by Stone Soup Editors

Post Published May 29, 2020 by Stone Soup Editors

To the Year of 2120 Ahana Chandra, 11 Did you know, there was once a storm, rising by the months? It teared apart the lives of dear ones, traveled across the world, and left many fighting for survival. The warriors who went out into the storm, faced the battering of exhaustion while trying to save the lives. Still, they kept on going, kept on fighting for survival.

Hope, a poem by Alyssa Wu, 13

Post Published May 28, 2020 by Stone Soup Editors

Hope Alyssa Wu, 13 Fresh air floating on the old urban streets San Francisco is a ghost town. The flowers are blooming silently, The once filled shops sit cooped up in an empty plaza.
