2. Idle Thoughts by Debrianne Hohstadt We lie beneath the skin, trapped; pressed down by The Profession. No one will embrace us. We’re unspoken and unwritten. Denied, We wait in the depths of velvet darkness. Too long we’ve been unheard by younger ears; Yearning for the chance to reclaim the world, Since we’ve long been forgotten. It’s quite clear That we need to break free and be unfurled. Let not the mind command us, but young hands Guide us. We work for greater good of self Expression and exploration. Demands Are few, just passion. Unto thee this quest To find us Words which lie in places blest.

5. Time’s Garment (a Sonnet Exercise) by Debrianne Hohstadt Never ending is Time’s fabric. Precious Moments we hold dear, yet forgotten by Time; lost stitches, rips, seams in the pattern Of its Maker. Time cares not of how it’s Measured by Man. Not solely ours – controlled; Confined by Time’s hands; no alterations To be made. Time decides the final cut To our youthful aging. Inevitable Failure in attempt to skip ahead a Step. Why a final product? Time wears us Thin – wasted fabric, unproductive time. Remnants of our lives remain for all to See – scraps left for loved ones. Against the grain, We craft our own design of Time’s garment.

22. The Prologue of Romeo and Juliet Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Do with their death bury their parents' strife. The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love, And the continuance of their parents' rage, Which, but their children's end, nought could remove, Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage; The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
