Dear Readers and Contributors,

 

I would like to take the opportunity to personally thank you all for the continuous love and support, especially through the pandemic. In just under 6 months, we’ve come so far; the magazine has been featured on Publish YOUth Writing and Poets & Writers, and the editorial team reached a whooping milestone of 100+ Advice Articles written! As we continue grow our global outreach, we’ve published over 280 creators from 25 U.S. States, 25 countries, and 6 continents across the world! 

 

It’s been a pleasure growing this community over the past three years, so I know I speak for the entire editorial board when I say we hold this magazine and our contributors close to our hearts. It takes a tremendous amount of research and effort to manage the magazine, which is why we're so thankful for all of your support. We encourage you to share our publications and Advice Articles to help our other young creators who may be interested in pursuing their craft.

 

Cheers,

Lori Khadse

Mother Nature's Growing Old...

Written by Su-Wei

 

For some peculiar reason,

I never liked this season.

The sky is no longer blue,

and the birds stop showing too.

Nature starts to look glum,

for her head’s going numb.

But when she can’t take it anymore…

her trees start to go bald

and before you know it, there’s dandruff everywhere.

 

 

 

 

Su-Wei (yes, like the tennis star!) is a 17-year-old poet born in Taiwan who never much liked anything to do with engineering or math. She is following her passion, and she is the author and artist of a canvas Webtoon, “Your Turn!”
