Call For Your Dog Poem

Improved Essays
As the dog starts to whimper
Then panics and barks
Loud and incessant
Waking all to this glaring growing
Shine in the dark
Filling the canvas walls
And there’s a tremble
On the palms on the ground
With a feeling rising

Has you stuck and thinking
Wondering fearing -
So we get out too check
‘What the heck?’
And we stand there stricken
For nearly a minute as it seems
There’s an insanely large + bright light
Coming directly (down) at us
+ Like idiot deer We just stand there Stunned and then a
Horn blares
And all hell breaks loose Bursting with madness Screaming running uncertain
Where you’re going in bare feet
+ Jammies
Across camp ground quarry terrain
At this hour of the morning
Calling for your dog
Locomotive bearing down on you

From the fresh

    The author also wanted us to feel the dog’s pain in the line “As we teased her with play, blood was filling her skin” and “We found her twisted and limp but still alive” (Clugston, 2010). I think that we can also see that the emotions we felt for the dog and his owner, are also emotions that we feel in our life when dealing with the illness and death of our loved ones, such as our family or close friends. With the reader/ response technique of writing, we can see and feel all of the emotions that the author is projecting through the telling of this…

    The Listeners Poem

    • 422 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The poems “The Listeners” and “Beware: Do Not Read This Poem” haven’t many similarities, but one major one can be found: both create a sense of immersion. You feel as though you are there, in the poem yourself. However, they do this in separate ways. “The Listeners” mainly uses two senses to build an image in the reader’s mind, sight and sound. You can see “the forest’s ferny floor” and the “moonlit door” and hear “the sound of iron on stone” as the Traveler leaves the house.…

    I swung up and slid gently into my saddle as the worn leather creaked slightly as I situated myself on Buttons my mare. The leather felt cool to the touch and the warm Colorado sun shone out of a clean slate of blue that brought out the comforting smell of horse and leather. I breathed in deeply and caught the piney scent of the sage brush which quickly turned to dust in my nose as the horses in the corral churned up the dry, dusty dirt of the mountains. I rode past the weathered wooden barn with the rows of stalls on either side. They all looked lonely without the tossing heads of the horses and bustling of the wranglers.…

This beam of light was a blinding brightness that all the men had to cover their eyes until their eyes could adjust to the brightness. They kept walking towards the beam until they were close, but still couldn’t tell what it was.

    An environment is a deer’s home; if they do not feel safe or welcome in that home, they will leave and find a different one. Once we had found the deer’s home, I’ve learned from my family and hunting classes that as hunters we should change it slightly to our advantage. After we scouted and found the game, it was up to us to use the resources that are in the piece of woods or field and manipulate them so that we had the best possible chance to bag a game deer. A field or a piece of open woods that deer like to travel and feel safe in is the best place to set up, which means that there has to be a good amount of cover for them to hide in, but not too much so that it’s hard for them to move through. We have a field behind our house that we…

Both of these are examples of external conflict, which involves more than one person.…
