My Poetry Pages

                     I love poetry just as much as the next person, if not more, so I decided to put together several different poems written by myself, my friends, and even some well known poetry.  Just click on the name of the poem to view it and enjoy!.

                    The High Price of Racism - Here is a great poem about the long story of racism and it's results written by a friend from Upward Bound.        by   -Renee Cox

                    The Power of Love - Here's a poem about  the realistic side of love written by one of my good friends from Upward Bound.                    by   -Amber Knight 

                    He Only Takes The Best - This poem is short and to point, but is very well written. The author is unknown but I picked it up out of one of the many 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' books out there.

                    Knowing - This is a poem I wrote several years ago but I still love. I was afraid for one of my very dear friends, so I wrote this for her to express my fear and sympathy. Luckily things have gotten better for her now. *for S.F.T.*    by  -Jonathan Farris

                    The Witches' Creed - Here is an absolutely awesome poem I stumbled across while surfing the 'net and fell in love with!  It's very different I guess you could say, but it's not evil or anything, so don't worry.  This is a link goes off of my website so to return use your 'Back' button.                    by    -Doreen Valiente

                    Did You Ever - Another great poem about the realistic/negative side of love from a friend at Upward Bound.  (Are you starting to see Upward Bound produces a lot of great people?)          by  -Shayla Mundy
