Taxis and shuttles wait near the exit waiting for men in fancy suits. Security guards look around the area for suspicious people. Metal out and shoes off, and we wait for security to grant us to enter the terminal. The long delays for the plane to take off makes me feel exhausted.

In stanza one, for example, lines four and five, Marvin states “...but when he sparkles, the earth begins to sway…” which is a metaphor for the fact that he finds himself lost in Whizzer and his affection for him. The lyrics of the song make it easy to identify the its tone, which is affectionate and caring. In stanza two, lines three and four, comes the line

approaches that subject in the plain style, using short, proverbial phrases intended to make the reader aware of time and mutability. The poem contains several lines that are made entirely of one-syllable words, which draw out the time it takes to read the line. Contrast lines 31-32 in “Nature, that washed her hands in milk” with lines 8 and 10 in Christopher Marlowe’s “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love” (p. 989).

acknowledging that “all the little/ spliced ropes are sliced.” The line break in the poem which leaves the phrase “all the little” alone to be followed up by second line describing the sliced hair, adds to Olds image. “All the little” appears as a memory of the mother of her former daughter, a memory that is quickly destroyed by the second image of those little strands now taking on a threatening sliced form. In addition, the line also holds a visual separation between the two different images that

The thrust of the engine pushed the airplane forward. Small butterflies emerged in my stomach. Since my first time flying, I had always felt a high level of anxiety upon boarding. This particular flight was no different. However, my anxieties heightened by the news that Malaysian Airline fight 370 disappeared two days before. I tried my best to distract my anxieties with any irrelevant detail in my surroundings. I laid my head against the laminar tempered glass of the airline window. The faint chatter

“The plane made a sharp left and ignited in mid-air like a fireball, like a firework in the sky, a loud scream emitted from the plane, and it went straight down into the Lake Havasu desert.” My experience at flight school is finally done, and today I get to fly around beautiful Lake Havasu AZ alone.
