"The Misery Club"

Poetry of the 21st Century Poet Sean Campbell

Sean...
failed
came in third.
is disgraced.
is angry.
is vengeful.
will rise once more.

Marshall's decathlon team...
failed
has a coach
has an angry coach
has an Irish coach
has a drunken coach
has Susanna.



Poetry of the 21st Century Poet Yang Bai

"I Have Failed!"

I have failed
On the basketball field
I blew Super Quiz
With a chilling breeze

I have failed
In the Ball room field
I sank with math
plunged into dark depth.

I have failed
At the Bravo Medical field
I recited my speech
Could not speak English

So I have failed,
A loser lying on the field
A prisoner ready to be killed
But who cares? I failed.



Poetry of the 21st Century Poet Jackie Yu

I heard my teammates yapping over their scores
Being gleeful and melancholy with one another
When I entered in the discussion, yearning to hear more
I realized, to turn, I'm just an insignificant other.



"The Optimist Club"

Poetry of 21st Century Poet Alexis Popkow

"Good Day"

It rained today.
I opposed love today.
Went to the rocks...
But I think,
'if I wasn't coveted
I
wouldn't be here,
today
for everybody
this
Good Day!

Poetry of the 21st Century Poet Anatol Tsang

"Bai, Bai, Bai" (sung to the lyrics of Nysnc's "Bye Bye Bye")

I'm telling you tonight
You're probably gonna start a fight
I know this can't be right
Hey Yang-y come on.

I told you endlessly
When you scored higher than me
So now it's time to hear
And admit that you're wrong.

I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie
I wanna see your name up there
Baby Bai Bai Bai

(Chorus)
You don't wanna be a fool, do you
I'm pretty sure you hit ninety-two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie
Baby Bai bai bai
Don't really wanna make it tough
I just wanna tell you that I've had enough
Might sound crazy but it ain't no lie
Baby Bai Bai Bai
