Baroque Poetry
 Sincerely, Gen Z
We, the product of the decisions of the
past generation,
left on a dying planet - barely breathing.
we inherited what was theirs,
left to deal with their affairs.
the dying earth, poverty, and hate,
now its too late to retrograde
 
The economy crashing before our eyes,
before our hard work came to fruition.
lackluster eyes devoid of vision,
we were robbed by the second
depression.
Politicians do nothing to help or to fix
As my country slowly succumbs to
poverty.
 
When we tried to rise above
You called us unfit
"too young and stupid."
"too young to be depressed"
"too young to be an activist"
"too young to protest"
 
But now you've had your chance,
It's our turn to speak
against poverty and corruption,
against homophobia and racism
against climate change and pollution
against discrimination and fascism
 
We won't stay seated listening,
We will fight for what was left for ours
We will save ourselves from this
ruination
Sincerely,
- Gen Z

Poetry
 A Cartographer in Love
There's this thing that you do
you do it all the time.
the way that your lips moves and
smiled
I've memorized it, mapped, yet
uncharted
The reasons for the crevices on your
forehead when you frown,
to rid of it, I'll offer my life to the
stars above.
The shape of your heart, inside and
out,
Recorded by a cartographer in love
On the map of you, I yearn to find,
the greenest hills, coolest waters, and
hallowed lands.
Your mind's complex, its wisdom
never-ending,
Your body's a ridge I'd die traversing.
Your figure ever mapped in my head,
the shape of you, I'll never forget.
Forever Yrs,
- A cartographer in love

Symbolism Poetry
 Selenophilia
To the moon, my love
Are you not tired at looking down from above?
Companion less, you sit in the skies
Ever changing, your melancholic eyes

Desolate, and distant

Yet always in my vision and my mind
There you continue to lie in heaven,
Unfeeling and indifferent

Sometimes I wish I could take you out of the

night sky
So I can forever keep you in my eyes
And even though my chances are grim
I will do whatever it takes so your light wont dim
Hopelessly Yrs
- A Selenophile
