Expressions
-- A Compilation of Feelings, is a "conversation on paper,"
where students can feel free to reveal their feelings, ideas
and achievements inside Tickled by Thunder fiction
magazine. We invite students to submit their short stories and
poetry to Tickled by Thunder as soon and as often as
possible!
Teachers are welcome
to encourage their students to participate. Alternatively,
teachers
might consider publishing a class chapbook.
We'd be happy to assist you with this project! Two student
chapbook covers can be seen here.
Students -- submit
your manuscript using our Online
Form!
Below is a sample
of the incredible writing we are publishing from young people

Nothing
By Whitney Warkentin (12-years-old)
Keewatin, Ontario
I sit and
listen but hear nothing
I sit and look but see nothing
I sit and smell but smell nothing
I am lonely and alone.
There is nothing
here to reach out to
There is nothing here to feel
I am lost in nothing
and I am lonely and alone
Here I sit in nothing.
