      September 14, 2019The Box of My HistoryZachary Tsokos

      I told my mom I wanted to go fishing.
      She said go find the tackle box,
      so I went to the basement.
      The tackle box was my godfather’s.
      It still has cigars in it, and a wine cap.
      He loved drinking wine while he was fishing
      with fake bait and lures, which were also
      still in there. Then my mom and I got
      in the car and drove off into the distance.

      Why do you like to write poetry?

      “I like to write poetry because I can express myself and release my emotions. It is a healthy outlet for all my feelings and maybe I can even help others with their feelings as well.”
