In the world of poetry, imitation occurs at every turn. Many poets will take an original form of poetry and copy the style. This can be said about Sir Thomas Wyatt who attempts to mimic Petrarch's form; when the symbols, tone, images, rhyme, and setting in Wyatt's poem "Whoso list to hunt" are compared to Petrarch's Rime 190 it becomes apparent that he failed to embody the essence of Petrarch in his writing.

He turned around to see a invisible thread on his face. He looked closer, and the sun light reflected of the thread. The thread felt like silk, as he slowly passed through it.

drove the camper up to Howard Lake. Howard Lake was just 12 miles outside of Libby, and the home of several different kinds of wildlife, ranging from tiny squirrels to wolves, moose, and bears. Just days before my grandparents and I had arrived to the campsite, the word was out that two bears had been attracted to a moose carcass. Fearing the campsite was closed, our bunch later arrived, and sure enough, it was open. My story begins on our third day at the camp. This was just one of the several

Atrocities in Stafford's Traveling Through the Dark   Is a drive just a drive, or is it a metaphor that imparts appreciation for life's fragility while simultaneously lamenting man's inability to appropriately confront, or understand, death?
