What I am haunted by ( ﻿ blue one ﻿)  By: Megan Ciggelakis __All my life, I've been scared of men standing over me. I am haunted by humans One was a book thief the other stole the sky. How do you give someone a__ __piece of the sky?__ In this poem you will find out how, and why? These are the people that haunt me.  The man who steals the sky just by looking at them with his eyes.  Max, he boxed shadows, he hid under the world, it gave him no need, he was afraid to make sounds even a sneeze. The colder he got the more he melted,   The girl who stole books to make something.  Liesel, she kissed a corpse, her tears made seeds, her words made trees fall limb by limb, she received the power of those words from within. They are not villains they are victims. Then there is ME__, I could introduce myself properly, but it's not really necessary__..............What am I? __I am a result__. How do I look? __Find yourself a mirror while__ I __continue__. __Now for a change of scenery. It was Monday and they walked on a tightrope toward the sun__. The sun dripped like sweet candy down their shoulders. Liesel was the one that noticed something wrong.  In such a beautiful place the ugliest of things happened here.. Beloved blood words stained the toxic atmosphere. The clouds were gray, not clear.  The lightning splattered spots against the ground all around She shuttered. Her society used beauty to kill. This was not her will!  She was haunted by her passion  Ink dripped hands like her own caused her family and friends to be gone, how could she carry on. She couldn't. Along the dusty road that could barely be seen at dusk, she decided to grab all that she every thought, her feeble wants,and throw them away for they were evil. Max was walking one day, and people spat at his feet, he at first was confused and then remembered why. He hated being hated for it, and he was haunted by it..  Turn the page, years ahead the cycle doesn’t end.It goes again,and again. Every morning I wake to see more Max's and Liesel's. Those who are hated by their homeland or live in evil.  Sometimes those that haunt me are more haunted themselves

By: Crystal Freeman THE BOOK THIEF

Her mouth jittered, As she sees him lying there, And the feeling of her brother’s death, Her cold arms were folded From the wind blowing against her fragile skin, Tears were frozen to the book thief’s face And we wonder what’ll happen next. A final dirty joke, Another human punch line That makes her stomach turn, The holocaust is ending, And Liesel is learning, On her way through life she meets Rudy Steiner, And their friend ship will soon grow deep, deep, and deeper, She is learning to read slowly but surely. Dancing with Death A deadly embrace A kiss of pain With only the colors To distract me A blood soaked sun A scream of sadness And it's my job To clean up the mess How can Death itself Be so haunted by it How can the soul collector Hate the job so?
