And love is. So good on christmas becase you can share the on Christmas day,

Writer’s Block
By: Genevieve
Melanson
Thinking … thinking…
thinking…
Where did my words
go?
Too many topics, so
many emotions!
What is the right way,
what’s the wrong?
Thinking… thinking…
thinking…
O’ what should I say?
O’ what characters
should I portray today?
My mind is bouncing
back and forth, up and down.
Searching… searching…
searching…
Myself to be portrayed
into art.
I am staring down at
a blank piece of paper.
The clock is tick,
tick, ticking past the hour.
Waiting and waiting for
the right words to appear.
Connect my mind with my
hand so that the right words would follow and become clear!
Pick up the pencil
and begin to trace the paper lines.
Cross your T’s and
dot all your I’s.
Create… create… create…
Break free from the
tries.
These jug dements
that bound you to that wall.
What every writer
fears is bad case of writer’s block!

This is my fave poemit is us
Us.
I was wrapped in blackfur and white fur and you undid me and then you placed in gold light and then you crowned me.
While snow fall outside the door in diagonal darts.
While a ten inch snow came down like stars in small calcium fragments,
We were in our own bodies (that room that will bury us.)
And you were in my body(that room that will outlive us)
And at first I rubbed your feet dry with a towtelbecase I was your slave and you called prince.prince!
Oh then I stood up in the gold skin and I beat down the psalms and I beat down the clothes and you undid the pants
And you undid my shart and I undidthe buttms ,
The bones,confusions,
The new england postcards,
The January ten o'clock night,and we rose up like wheat,
Acre after acre of gold,and we harvested,we harvested
I put a good twist on poem
By mike boone
My love
My love is so good and he is so good and he is so sweet but he love me by put his hand on my face and his so soft is like he is a angle singing in the heaven and he is so sweet to me and he like to kiss me in moon light it is like a a love last four ever his touch is like a frost time I fell in love and when he and I go out we are one in love
By mikeboone
Love
Love is so sweet and you don't Teate it or feel it and be four that person and love that person if they are sad and up set you show that you love them

Professional
Hello everyone, today is professional development day and we should all embrace our day to day activities and reflect the way we carry ourselves everywhere. In the time we live, society is just and common people know common people. Meaning, in this small world who never know who you may run into. Even if you are buying a slice of pizza on your lunch break from work remember, you still represent your place of employment and should act accordingly since you are replaceable.
Use today to think about the self......... I know I will!!!!!!

Daddy divorces mommy,
I want to cut myself.
Mommy, what’s a psychopath?

Why
By: Genna Melanson
You ever wonder why?
Why the sky is blue?
Why do bees like to
buzz?
Why do birds like to sing?
O’ how many answers
could these three questions bring?
Why does summer
follow spring?
Why do leaves turn
brown in the autumn?
Why are we the way we
are?
Why does the night
sky have stars?
Why is it that we
know what happens and how?
Why?
I don’t know, do you?
Why?
Then if I don’t know
and you don’t know, who else knows what up.
Why?
So many questions
without explanations.
Why?
There must be a
reason why we even exist!
Hello Vanguardians!!
For all those interested... I have revised my first poem. Changed the title, added another stanza, etc. I hope to share it with you all today!

Shine Down Upon Me
By: Genevieve (Genna)
Melanson
There are so many
stars in the sky tonight.
Shimming and shining
a moon showing off its luminous light.
Pulling up the covers
around me ever so tight.
Thinking about you,
and what you bought into my life!
Since the day that
you have passed away, my days have been so gray!
There’s been many
moments in my life that I wished that you had stayed.
I would have given
anything to hear your voice.
Not the joking and
yelling part of course.
Just to hear from
you, when you are looking down upon me from heaven.
Don’t you know that
you were my haven?
Someone that I come
to when I was lost.
I didn’t know when
you were gone I would have such a highly cost.
You have been there
with me throughout my life.
Could you please shine
down upon me tonight?
Show me your light, show me the way.
Shows me the real
reason why want to stay!
Please give me the
faith, before all the memories of you hade away.
Give me a sign of yours in those starry lines.
To show strength to
me that even beyond heaven we have those tries.
Let me know that God
is not lie!
Could you please
shine down upon me tonight?
My fallen angel, the
darkness that could bring me to the tunnel of light.
Reach down your hand
and kiss me good night.
Could you please
shine down upon me tonight?
Who Knew?
By: Genevieve (Genna) Melanson
Who knew that life could be so
complicated!
How could circumstances be the
way they are?
For one thing jumping to the
next.
I am trying to figure out
what’s best.
Putting my past to rest!
Who knew that one day I’ll be
looking back.
Reflecting on how many memories
I have.
And it seems funny, time could
seem so far away.
Once upon these days.
Who knows what this life is
anway?
What’s it to you and me?
Who’s is it to anyone?
Who are we supposed to be?
If I only knew what I knew
now?
I would be a different me!
Sometimes when I cry, I wish I
could lend you my tears
If only I could borrow your
smile for awhile!
Wishing that our happiness
could never go out of style.
Nothing seems to stay the
same.
Sometimes I want to run away.
I want to run away to a place
where I feel safe.
Who knew of how much love
one’s family could make?
Who knew you were right behind
me catching my every mistake!
Sitting on the edege of the
lake,wondering of how many dreams we could make!
If only I knew what I knew
today?
I would have told you I love
you, but who knew anyway!

On Wicker Park (posted by Jeni Thompson)
Do you remember Wicker Park? We sat there watching in the dark,
Holding hands and drinking wine,
Tooth for tooth and eye for eye.
We sat there naked in the dark.
Do you remember......remember, Marc?
These small things, the pangs we thought
Were bought in full and fully bought...
You lost yourself and I lost mine,
Tooth for tooth and eye for eye.
We lay there moving in the dark
On the fringe of Wicker Park.
...And time it passed like storm clouds move
Washing everything anew.
Your onyx eyes still like the dark
Reminding me of Wicker Park.

Why
By: Genna Melanson
You ever wonder why the sky is blue?
Why do bees like to buzz, why do birds like to sing?
O’ how many answers could these two questions bring?
Why does spring follow summer?
Why do leaves turn brown in the winter?
Why are we the way we are?
Why does the night sky have stars?
Why is it that we know what happens and how!
But why?
There must be a reason for everyone and everything.
I don’t know, do you?
So many questions without explanations.
Then if I don’t know and you don’t know, who else knows what up.
There must be a reason why we even exist!
Stand Up and Change the World
By: Genna Melanson
Walk into a whole new world now, time to put my guard down.
People coming and going, trying to stay busy, finding your way can sure make you feel dizzy.
I am staring straight ahead looking at their faces, bringing myself to think who are they really? Most importantly what do these people expect from me?
Do these people expect me to get good grades?
Do these people expect me just to stay out of their way?
Oh is this just another huge mistake, to think things could ever change?
Walk into a whole new world now, time to put my guard down.
People coming and going, trying to stay busy, finding your way can sure make you feel dizzy.
Time seems to stay still, even though time seems to keep on going.
Your outside stays the same, however your inside keeps on forming.
Watching your reflection in the mirror staring back at you.
Feeling like you don’t have clue on what to do.
Walk into a whole new world now, time to put my guard down.
People coming and going, trying to stay busy, finding your way can sure make you feel dizzy.
You want to change the world, but you just don’t how, sometimes you just want to scream.
But instead you stand up and say, ooh, ohh no way, ohh, ohh no way!
I am going to be strong today, and chase those shadows away.
Because I have a right to stay, and no one has the right to change your mind.
You’re going to prove myself and to your no-sayers in your own time.
Walk into whole new world now, time to put my guard down.
People coming and going, trying to stay busy, finding your way can sure make you feel dizzy.
But you.. you can say.. say ohh no way, no way! Stand up, stand up and say..
I am going to be strong today, and chase those shadows away.
And prove to you I am going to change this world someday.
In the Eyes of a Journey
By: Genna Melanson
Once a upon a day you came into this world as a baby.
Where your life consist of 1,2,3 and ABC’s.
Your journey is just beginning.
You must learn to crawl before you can walk.
You must learn to stand before you fall.
So when you fall just get right back up.
Trust yourself to the first steps, because those first steps can show you that you are strong.
Believe in yourself because this is the journey the gluided path you are supoosed to be on.
You must walk before you can run.
The people that love you can give you the strength, when all hope is lost.
When you take risks you take a leap, into whatever dreams you might see.
Take a hold of the ruins and don’t you let go.
You must learn to run before you take flight.
Show this world that you’re someone worth watching out far.
Trust your instances, the lessons that people have given you.
Trust yourself to the first steps, because those first steps can show you that you are strong.
Believe in yourself because this is the journey the guided path you are supposed to be on.
Always show people that you love them, try to tell them every signal day.
Pay it forward, show them the way.
Gluide those on their journey as so many people did for you.
Tell them that there is a path just waiting for you.
When you come to the end of your life, may there still be nothing you hold back.
May there always be a handprint/footprint over those who you shown their way.
May your journey always continue on when you pass away.
I am so excited to posting my fist post YAY!! Here is the three poems that I brought the last two meeting I hope everyone enjoys them! Please comments and feedbak is so appriacted! I can't wait for next meeting Go Vanguard!!

By: Genna Melanson
You ever wonder why the sky is blue?
Why do bees like to buzz, why do birds like to sing?
O’ how many answers could these two questions bring?
Why does spring follow summer?
Why do leaves turn brown in the winter?
Why are we the way we are?
Why does the night sky have stars?
Why is it that we know what happens and how!
But why?
There must be a reason for everyone and everything.
I don’t know, do you?
So many questions without explanations.
Then if I don’t know and you don’t know, who else knows what up.
There must be a reason why we even exist!
Stand Up and Change the World
By: Genna Melanson
Walk into a whole new world now, time to put my guard down.
People coming and going, trying to stay busy, finding your way can sure make you feel dizzy.
I am staring straight ahead looking at their faces, bringing myself to think who are they really? Most importantly what do these people expect from me?
Do these people expect me to get good grades?
Do these people expect me just to stay out of their way?
Oh is this just another huge mistake, to think things could ever change?
Walk into a whole new world now, time to put my guard down.
People coming and going, trying to stay busy, finding your way can sure make you feel dizzy.
Time seems to stay still, even though time seems to keep on going.
Your outside stays the same, however your inside keeps on forming.
Watching your reflection in the mirror staring back at you.
Feeling like you don’t have clue on what to do.
Walk into a whole new world now, time to put my guard down.
People coming and going, trying to stay busy, finding your way can sure make you feel dizzy.
You want to change the world, but you just don’t how, sometimes you just want to scream.
But instead you stand up and say, ooh, ohh no way, ohh, ohh no way!
I am going to be strong today, and chase those shadows away.
Because I have a right to stay, and no one has the right to change your mind.
You’re going to prove myself and to your no-sayers in your own time.
Walk into whole new world now, time to put my guard down.
People coming and going, trying to stay busy, finding your way can sure make you feel dizzy.
But you.. you can say.. say ohh no way, no way! Stand up, stand up and say..
I am going to be strong today, and chase those shadows away.
And prove to you I am going to change this world someday.
In the Eyes of a Journey
By: Genna Melanson
Once a upon a day you came into this world as a baby.
Where your life consist of 1,2,3 and ABC’s.
Your journey is just beginning.
You must learn to crawl before you can walk.
You must learn to stand before you fall.
So when you fall just get right back up.
Trust yourself to the first steps, because those first steps can show you that you are strong.
Believe in yourself because this is the journey the gluided path you are supoosed to be on.
You must walk before you can run.
The people that love you can give you the strength, when all hope is lost.
When you take risks you take a leap, into whatever dreams you might see.
Take a hold of the ruins and don’t you let go.
You must learn to run before you take flight.
Show this world that you’re someone worth watching out far.
Trust your instances, the lessons that people have given you.
Trust yourself to the first steps, because those first steps can show you that you are strong.
Believe in yourself because this is the journey the guided path you are supposed to be on.
Always show people that you love them, try to tell them every signal day.
Pay it forward, show them the way.
Gluide those on their journey as so many people did for you.
Tell them that there is a path just waiting for you.
When you come to the end of your life, may there still be nothing you hold back.
May there always be a handprint/footprint over those who you shown their way.
May your journey always continue on when you pass away.

New Work - Michael Storms
Never So Beautiful
Milk Chocolate has never been so beautiful.
You look back at me with all your love
When you’re wet, I die inside
A Van Gogh has nothing on you.
You melt me with a slight glance
When you’re broken, I am broken too
A Monet could never compare to you.
You move me without a touch
When you’re frozen, you’re even sexier
A Renoir will never come close to you.
Milk Chocolate… you are the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen.
