The Elicitor (online): The Beat of Me by Julia Johnson

The Beat of Me

music pours
through my veins
thumping in my chest
moving to the beat of my heart
and
I forget the world
everyone else
falls away
and
all that's left is

me,

me,

Me.

The Elicitor Version 2.017

1. Welcome to the Elicitor blog. As often as we can we will publish something new--a poem, a short story, a photograph, or something else--by a Gloucester High School student. If you have something you would like for us to consider for electronic publication please email it to juliajohnson@gloucesterschools.com or jillianoliveira@gloucesterschools.com.

2. In addition to updating the blog on a bi-weekly basis we are gathering writing and art for a Spring 2017 full magazine issue of the Elicitor. Please submit work (marked Elicitor) to Julia Johnson, Jillian Oliveira, Ms. Eastman in room 3203, or to your English teacher. All submissions are welcome. We want to read what you've written and look at the art you've made.

3. Thank you to the Gloucester Education Foundation for funding our work.
