3. Selected Poems (You Are to Decide)
   Walt March was born on March 30, 1962. Graduated from the university in 1984. From 1985 till 2013 has published 5 books. The poem describes him as a personality: In the world of strange relationships, In reality of problems and distress, Suddenly a genius appears, Dreaming of the global happiness. He's deprived of grievance and ambush, Doesn't care about power and control, One says he's a gentleman too much, Nobody protects him after all. Blown-off by cold and freezing winds, Being talked about here and there, More than once he can behold betrayal, Being left by friends in his despair. But against all odds, in spite of pain, There's nothing left for him to prove, Being hero never was his plan, Moving on, he still believes in good.

5. Rabbit’s Feet by Trista Borgwardt
   I was born and raised in Rapid City, South Dakota. I am the mother of two wonderful boys, ages 14 and 3. They keep me really busy and thankfully my significant other is not only a wonderful father, but an excellent man. He has supported me in all my endeavors from the very beginning. I also have a dog and 2 cats, all male with the only female being a guinea pig. We are a family oriented household and don't tend to do much unless it is as a family. Some of the things we enjoy doing is fishing, hiking, camping, driving through the hills, taking the dog for walks/out to play, bike riding and going to hockey games. We do have a local hockey team and it was one of the best things they have ever done for our community. I love to read and of course write! I love to take pictures and hope to one day have a more professional camera to do more photography, but just for fun. For now, I settle taking pictures on my I-phone or my point and click. I love to travel to Hawaii when I have the opportunity, and not just to see the beautiful island. My best friend lives on the island and we do not get to see or talk to each other as much as we used to, or as much as I would like to!

7. Crossword by Alan S Bricklin
   Alan has practiced as a surgical Pathologist for many years, starting in Philadelphia and ending up in California. He began to write fiction a number of years ago, possibly challenged to do so by competition from his brothers, both of whom have written numerous books and articles in the fields of Psychology, Health, Humor and Fitness. Alan has written two screenplays, several short stories and is working on a second novel. Enjoying the great outdoors in California by hiking and off-roading has been a source of great pleasure and inner peace for him.
