Where the Crimson Ends
By Christian James K. Corrigan

There is a place where the crimson ends before the flight begins and
There life starts its path and there the moon glows bright
and the clouds are white, not stained red
That is where the sun rests for embarking on its daily journey
That is where life takes it flight away, to night.
The place is the place where the knife and gun both end forever.
No more bloodlust, peace forever, no more war.
Where the crimson ends.


Where the Homework Ends
By Sophie Needles

There is a time when homework ends
And before Homework Starts
And there your dreams come true.
And there are crimson flowers in your head
and a flight of dragons.
You can roller blade on the asphalt with
roller blades measured to fit you.
You only know you don’t have homework
Its an enormous bunch of fun.


Where the Asphalt Ends
by Ilana Huggins

There is a place where the asphalt ends
and the North begins
Where the proud polar bear hunts near
Enormous stretches of white.
Where the asphalt ends.
