After a difficult judging process, the winners have been chosen and Day One held the reading and award ceremony for these budding young writers this past January 27th. In honor of Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, we will be posting these beautiful, hopeful and best of all, healthy depictions of love on our blog every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday in February.
Poetry: 6th through 9th grade: 1st Place: Jayne Mitchel
"Eternal Love"
I wonder if I dreamed of you-
If you would appear?
To make my nights full of love,
And always hold me near.
I wonder if I thought of you-
if you would feel it in your soul?
Like two spirits in the universe,
who always seem to know.

Poetry: 6th through 9th grade: 2nd Place: Aminah S. Greene
What is love?
Love is like a too small glove.
Once you have it on its hard to get it off,
It makes you feel all gushy and soft.
Love is suppose to feel like butterflies,
Having someone next to you that never lies.
Someone you can trust with everything you say,
Not someone who forces you to stay.
Someone who buys you gifts because you deserve it,
Someone who says I Love you because you're worth it.
Someone who can warm you without their touch,
Someone who smiles and make you blush.
Caring, Committing, and passion is the key,
These three things are what you should be.
Abuse, doesn't solve anything,
Using Force doesn't make you king.
