Snow Fall

Twisting branches swirl
Sharp brisk air quickly fills me
The snow will soon fall

—Jacob Ferritto
OJC Freshman




Keep Walking

Through the window pane
Glowing streetlamps, smile, and see
Snow falling softly

Walking by, hey you
Glances heart stops its rhythm
Smile, keep on walking

—Elizabeth Eubanks
OJC Freshman




Stuck

My tongue is so stuck
I stuck my tongue to a pole
Now I feel so smart

—Martha Pearson
OJC Sophomore
Dead Trees

I lie awake here
Listening to the dead trees
Wondering where they went

—Kerianne Vrbas
OJC Sophomore







A Small Cathedral

A small cathedral
Floating, shimmering down, down
A crystal of light

—Stephen Joseph Reeves
OJC Sophomore






The Cold

Fresh flakes falling fast
Crisp cold cutting quickly through
The cold of winter

—Melissa Root
OJC Sophomore
