Sitting still,
yet feeling the rushing pulse in the legs.
Sounds of music
Buzzing through the ears
Sounds of far off bands,
Marching in the distance.
The cool air brushing past,
running through the hair.
On a nice warm day
The sound of children’s laughter
as they play.

What is thy world?
One of mysteries
from old tales
told of old.
A fairytale land
Where I belong.
Bailey Marten is a junior at Rock Creek High School. She entered a school poetry contest last year and her fellow classmates voted blindly and choose her poem as the 2nd place winner. All of the poetry winners were annouced the first week of May of 2024 and winners received a gift card and gave permission for their poem to be run in the school newspaper.
