untitled poem by Brad DeLoreto

  The baseball hits the bat

       Into the scoreboard splat

       Home run for Ruth

        That's the truth

         Baseball sneaky as a sleuth

         Little Jonny lost a tooth

         The baseball is coming

         Jonnys mom loves humming

        To the hospital jonnys dad runnin

        His resemblence to Jonny is cunning

The Monster Within you Evelline Costa

The Monster Within you

Evelline Costa

Sending shivers down your dorsum

Sensing the crisp frosty finger touch on your spine

releasing short breaths attempting to comprehend its words

As you become conscious of what was occurring

dread had approached you

Distancing yourself from what you thought was reality

Coming to the realization this unknown being is what lies beneath your soul,

the only monster there is, is what makes up your whole.
