A Trip Of Poetry
Niesha Radovanic

will you wait?

i want to kiss you back

but i'm still trying

to kiss the roots of my own stem

watering this flower with tears

still waiting on her to bloom.

puff puff, no pass

living in the sea of trees

filling my lungs

with sativa

so i can feel at peace.

i'll make it home soon

a mapquest

of stretchmarks

across my belly

i am connecting the dots

until i learn to

love this destination,

all the way home.

june

in a day

you gave me

a story

by night

you gave me

my favorite book.

garden goodbyes

if you leave,

leave tenderly.

wiggle yourself

out of these roots.

don't say goodbye to

my flowers,

they have already

lost enough petals.

this is my home

when they say you feel like home,

smile, welcome them

into your garden of youth,

but if they start plucking

your petals off

tell them it is time

they plant their own garden

someplace else.

magic

when you find someone,

who can love you

like you love you,

thank the universe,

for true love is

sensational.

fall

i wonder

how i can be

both happy and

absolutely petrified

to fall in love.

afternoon showers

i watched the rain.

admired how quickly

i saw the plants

smile with green.

i wondered what

i would look like

if i watered myself

in what i need

to grow.

compliment or insult?

i remember the boy

who told me

"wow, you look great,

you used to not have a neck"

his words sliced through my throat

like mirror glass

i could not let out a cry

but now i will

let out a roar

that will shake the cruelty

out of his bones.

on&on

the sun peeks through

my window blinds.

the birds hum

their offerings

the wind brushes

weight off my shoulders

in between puffs of tree.

Erykah Badu

vibrates my solar plexus,

mornings like this

remind me why

i am alive,

there is work to contrive.

there is only one you

you are universal stardust

the universe needed you on this planet

isn't that enough?

enough for you to keep spreading your light,

thru mother natures fortress.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.
