Ten minutes later, my clock goes off again, ¨And stopped the clock.¨ After I slowly got up I packed my stuff, and walked to the kitchen for breakfast. I said hi to my parent and my sister.

I will be writing a response to the poem “In Black Earth, Wisconsin” by Andrea Musher. I think that this poem is about a family that suffered a loss and they are trying to move on.

The feelings this poem brought out in me were sad, curious, and scared. I felt sad because in the poem someone passed away. This is sad…
