Yo tenía una clase
por Louise Melo
Yo tenía una clase
¿Por qué no fui hoy?
¡Ay!
¡Que estresada estoy!
‘Oye” me dice mi amiga
“¿No recuerdas el meme de hoy?
¿Cuál meme de hoy?
Le digo
“El meme de hoy. Hasta te moriste hoy.”
¿Me morí hoy?
¿Como puede ser?
“¡Te moriste de risa!”
Me dijo
¡Ay!
Que calavera estoy.

Día de los Muertos
por Hortensia Contreras
Ahí viene el agua
Por la ladera,
Y se me moja
Mi calavera.
La Muerte calaca
Ni gorda, ni flaca
La Muerte casera,
Pegada con cera.
Third Place Winner 2023 - Luis Luna
Concurso de Calaveritas 2023:
Tercer Lugar
Death of the Pencil
por Luis Luna
There the pencil lays on the desk
He was pulled out of the backpack away from the rest.
He did not know why
Was it his turn to be used up and die?
Why was he chosen
He laid on the top of the desk frozen.
Feeling all alone
He wanted to be with his friends in the backpack at home.
His lead was being broken all day he was confused
Little did he know he was used and abused.
He wondered when this nightmare would end
At the end of the day all he wanted was his friends.
He finally met his maker at the end of day
It was a metal blade.
He became so short and began to fade
When there was nothing left to sharpen, the pencil got thrown away.
