My name is Matthew Lumkes, this is my 4th year in the Potterschool, and I have not yet submitted any of my songs to the Open Mic section. So, why not begin now? Haha, I'm a Christian rapper, with style similar to a mix between Lecrae and Linkin Park. I don't know exactly how this works.. but here's a song I wrote recently (It's not recorded yet) and will be on my future album.
Verse 1
Trying to find a place in treaded ground
Found by some who back down
Stubborn, solely fighting for themselves
Just willin to lay their lives down for themselves
Not like the twelve, a model of the church
Following the truth ...by Published on 03-01-2013 09:23 AM

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
Skylar Conway loved this song, but he never thought the lyrics would be his last words.
Since he was a small boy, Skylar loved playing with guns, be it NERF, Airsoft, or any other kind of toy gun. He received his first BB gun at the age of 13. He had been practicing his accuracy and was now a fantastic aim.
The summer he turned 17, Skylar went on a mission’s trip with his youth group down to a tiny little village in Zambia, Africa. That ...by Published on 02-02-2013 08:00 AM

I hope you enjoy his work!
Clink — clink, the lantern swung in the wind, beating out a shaky rhythm with the roll of the
ship. Sitting at an old table near the bow, I hardly noticed the beauty of the setting sun. “Never
forget,” my strong yet weary father had whispered in my ear, his warm breath and familiar
father-smell now perhaps, I agonized, forever ...by Published on 01-07-2013 08:00 AM

Act 1, Scene vii
Oboes is pluckin’ theys song. Torches is on far. Enter a butler and diff’rent servants with
a mess o’ food, dishes, and utensels over the stage. Then enter MACBETH
Macbeth:
If this bus’ness would really b’ finished when I does it, then ought’n we ta do it right
now? If’n the assassination of the king could work like a jiffy, with no consequences
whatsoev’r, then the murder will finish the whole affair, and I reckon I would happily
sac’ifice my ve’y soul fer it. But fer crimes like these there is still punishments in this
world. If I don’ do this, I’m teaching od’er folk to do the same violence, and they will ...by Published on 12-01-2012 08:00 AM
This months open mic selection is an essay submitted by Julie Leone. She introduces herself below:
My name is Julie Leone. I am fourteen years old. I live in New Hampshire. I really enjoy any kind of writing, and I love photography. I also love acting, and playing lots of sports. I am a BIG music fan! I'm most definitely not a girly girl! This is my first year of TPS, and I'm taking English 1 with Mrs. Massie and an English 1 Grammar Supplement class with Mrs. Frederick. I also really love getting to know people. One of my favorite Bible verses is Micah 6:8 "He has told you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you but to seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God?" I really hope you enjoy ...by Published on 03-05-2012 03:00 PM
This month's submission is from Potter's School student Bethany Wilford. She lives in Lhasa Tibet, China. For everyone geographically challenged, you can find it in the Himalayas. Bethany is in her second with TPS and is taking English 3 with the wonderful Ms. Gaines, studying Chemistry under the brilliant Mrs. Arney, and enjoying Contemporary Music Harmony taught by Mr. Hammer.

The Little Things
Sometimes the littlest things can affect your life. For some it is getting a gift.Forothers it is hearing the words "I love you" or "I am sorry." It is a small gesture of kindness that impacts you ...by Published on 03-05-2012 03:00 PM
This month's Open Mic article features a poem by Anna Goldling, who describes herself in this way.
"I am a Christian, Homeschooler, Sister, Friend, Dancer, Writer, and Dreamer. I live in a tiny town no one has ever heard of in Vermont, and wouldn't have it any other way. My family owns a small fiber farm and Bed and Breakfast Inn, focusing mainly on sheep and wool products. We have around a dozen sheep, as well as a bunch of other farm animals and pets. I love anything related to the Arts (literary and performing especially). I’m also an extreme Tolkienist."
Anna would also like to extend an invitation for anyone who enjoys her writing to check out her blog, annaestelle.wordpress.com.
Enjoy! ...
