11-20. unhurrying, the ivy advances.

Ivy by Do Jong-Hwan Hand in hand, several together, it climbs on, a span’s
(Korean Poem)
breadth at a time.
It grasps the despair and will not let go
At times when we feel that
it is a wall, unavoidably a wall, until the despair is all covered in green.
then At times when we shake our heads, saying
without a word ivy goes climbing up the wall. that wall cannot be climbed,
At times when we say that one ivy leaf leads thousands of other ivy leaves
it is a wall of despair and finally climbs over that wall.
with no drop of water, where not one seed can survive,
21-30.
Behind the Mask by Melisa Bernards
Hiding the hurt, hiding the pain,

Hiding the tears that fall like rain.
Saying I'm fine when I'm anything but.
This ache in my soul rips at my gut.
My skin is on fire; I burn from within.
The calm on my face is an ongoing sin.
The world must stay out; I've built up a wall.
My fragile lie will collapse should it ever fall.
Loneliness consumes me; it eats away the years
Until my life is swallowed by unending fears.
Waiting for someone to see I wear a mask
And care enough to remove it; is that too much to ask?
31-40
The Road Not Taken

by Robert Frost And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
And sorry I could not travel both
I doubted if I should ever come back.
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth; I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
Then took the other, as just as fair
I took the one less traveled by,
And having perhaps the better claim,
And that has made all the difference.
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
41-50
