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.
