I know that there is a stigma that comes with poetry. That it is all sad and serious and full of tears. Well, I am here to prove that very wrong, like so wrong. These poems will all make your day a little brighter and cause you to chuckle.

1. "Thinking About You" by Mike Taylor


This poem is not only really cute, but also full of puns. Send it to that person you're crushing, and I am sure that they will come right to you.

2. "For the People Who Ask Me If I'm Tired" by Justin Lamb

This poem gives me hope for our future because people who ask me if I am tired are the worst. The actual worst.

3. "Childhood" by the New York team at Brave New Voices


For all of you 90's kids out there, this is the poem for you! Full of great references from childhood, ranging from Urkle to Yu-Gi- Oh

4. "Drop-Off Lines" by Desireé Dallagiacomo

This one is for any person who has wanted to tell someone to just go away. It is perfect for the next time you go to the bar.

5. "To the Boys Who May One Day Date My Daughter" by Jesse Parent

This poem is equally sweet as it is funny. It will make all people laugh about this strange conundrum of dating.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
