The Bluestone Review 2020

Poetry

In the U.S.A. By Noel Saunders We go to the gym, but we drive there. We expect high quality, but we want it cheap. We text among the masses,

but we decry texting with individuals. We do not like to do required work, but we jump to do extra credit. We confess our problems, but we feel justified by doing so. We hate to fit stereotypes, but we formulate them. Under the Cherry Blossom By Ella Sekkor Cherry blossom trees And animals on the path

Not being disturbed You seem to be glad On this bright midsummer day Under the petals Hearing the birds chirp Embraced in the warmth of light As you eat your dish

Right as life seems great Mesmerized by nature you Encounter a sight Hiding in a house Enduring the sight of you Lies a sly person Peeking through the door Might be a stranger or spy Enchants you to look Probably anxious Like a girl having a crush
