The only thing saving him on this frigid winter morning was the hunters orange beanie he stole from the lost and found the week before. He turned and looked up the street, and thats when his stomach got hot and did a couple back flips. There she was, walking down the road to the bus stop, holding her momma's hand- both with matching mittens. She looked like an angel with her glowing
There was lettuce in the field and they had not eaten all day. He then darted ahead a few lengths ahead of him. Turned his head to look back once and then his body was scattered across the field. The father told this story to his family while sitting around the dinner table. The story then gets deeper and talks about
He walked with a stick because he suffered from rheumatism and when he set off to cut the hedges at Meon Hill that morning, he carried with him his stick, a pitchfork and a fruitcake for his lunch. He usually finished work by 4 pm and when it got to 6 pm Edith began to worry. Her uncle was a man of habit and was never late. She

This was a place where my older brother took care of me and my cousin during the summer. It was where we walked the stone wall that surrounded our neighborhood and linked us to other yards and adventures. We learned to balance ourselves along the wall on our daily sojourn, holding our noses to avoid the stench of poisoned rats, stiffening in the sunlight, and who had yet to be picked up and tossed into the trash cans that littered the backyards. We would gather bottles for just a few pennies and buy candy to fill the gap in our hungry stomachs while, we waited for our mom to call us home for lunches of baloney sandwhiches or lima beans and biscuits (I still refuse to eat lima beans to this day, 50 years
Stephanie Richard Texas Bound " The Death Of My Father" It was a nice crisp winter day in January 2005, my mother and I were getting ready to go grocery shopping with my grandmother, (because at that time my mom did not have a driver's license, so my gram brought us to do things). We were getting ready to leave and saying goodbye to my dad, I found it strange the way he said goodbye to us, he said, "bye, I love you" and he never really said that. Very rarely did he say I love you. Not paying much mind to it we headed out. At the grocery store my mom and I were having a good mother daughter day when all of a sudden they called her name over the loud speaker.
“The Lanyard” Analysis “The Lanyard” by Billy Collins, is a poem about a grown man who flashbacks to the day he braided a lanyard for his mother at a camp thinking that making something for his mother will make her happy. Collins uses imagery and tone to illustrate that nothing in this world is enough to repay one’s mother for all that she’s done, but showing one’s love for her will bring joy and laughter into her life. A poetic device Collins utilizes in this poem is imagery. One very good example is when he was thinking about the day at camp. “The other day I was ricocheting slowly off the blue walls of this room, moving as if underwater from type write to piano, from bookshelf to an envelope lying on the floor” (lines 1-4).
Think, think, think! It was Saturday morning, I was getting ready to meet my friends at the park, I told my mom I loved her and went, the park’s only ten minutes walk from my house. I got to the park and sat on the wooden bench, it was very old and was made in memory of ‘Lucy Wesley’. My friends didn’t show up, I waited and waited. I have to admit I felt as if someone or something was watching me...
On Saturdays we would have game night or visit my grandparents and spend time at their house. I’m so excited for our family vacation this summer because where going camping and spending time on the outdoors. My sister and I never been camping before so it would be our first time. My mom just got back from work and was going to make dinner but there wasn’t any food in the refrigerator. We drove to "Mom & Pop" Grocery Store to buy some food for dinner.
And nothing happened: day was all but done. Call it a day, I wish they might have said To please the boy by giving him the half hour That a boy counts so much when saved from work. His sister stood beside him in her apron To tell them “Supper.” At the word, the saw, As if it meant to prove saws know what supper meant, Leaped out at the boy’s hand, or seemed to leap— He must have given the hand. However it was, Neither refused the meeting. But the hand!
