my town

This is my town.
This is where my ancestors went to school.
This is my old broken down town.
These are my fans, my stadium
my 300 pound wild hog, my cotton mouth snake.
I work my body on that field,
cool down under the stands.
My inspiration comes from the fans.
At my stadium I make the plays,
satisfy the fans, be a leader,
score the game winning touchdown.
The field is my whole town,
family legacy, my legacy helps keep it going.
I dream big in this stadium. I pulled my football
from the sidelines, and I fall to my knees
next to it to ask can I make it.
I sleep while a breeze dies at stadium walls,
waking to dawn with my dust.
This is my house.

Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina was a very devastating event for the people of New Orleans. The residents were warned of the hurricane coming but blew it off like any other warning. This time was different because it was a major event that would change New Orleans for the rest of their lifes. The residents of hurricane feel as if the government did not help them the way that they should have. There were residents getting kicked out of the hotel rooms, basicaly going to nothing because they could not afford to pay for the room. There were hundreds of people still being rescued after the evacuation. Residents on the street with no food and water. The residents of New Orleans felt like they had no one to rely on because the government was not doing absolutly everything that they could to help them. They felt like the government didnt serve them right.

Enviroment

The enviroment is relaxing, refreshing, and beautiful. I love to watch the sunset at night and stars twinkle through the night. The air is refreshing as I walk out of my door and step out onto the floor. The birds chirping is so pleasing to the ear, o how the enviroment is relaxing, refreshing, and beautiful.

ocean

I found a place for me to be. I love to look at the ocean. The ways the waves sway in many different motions. The smell of the water is so fresh and new. The color changes from green to blue. I really have no clue why the ocean waves are so beautiful and blue.

Bright Stars

I sit at night and look at the beautiful light. The stars amaze me more and more each and every night. The way they shine all so bright. Twinkling through out the night. I love the way there all so bright. They make me want to go watch them every night and watch them shine all so bright.

summer day

The specific details that stayed in my mind were how Mary Oliver started out asking questions and how she answered them. That's why the details stayed in my mind; these details really made me think about what she's talking about in her poem. The details help me see the whole picture of what she was talking about.

The specific details that stayed in my mind. Was that he stayed so close to the University of Utah and the other thing that stayed in my mind was Bear River Migratory Brid Refuge. the reason why was the university of Utah stayed in my mind was because utah is on of my favrite schools when I was little. The reason Bear river stayed in my mind because he kept talkimg about it so it stayed with me.
