For my gut reaction writing‚ I read “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden. The poem brought back memories of cold winter nights by the fire. My living room has a gas fire‚ and even when it is below 40‚ the living room can still be 80. The second stanza reminded me of the days I would spend cross country skiing‚ especially the part where Hayden says the cold is splintering and breaking‚ because when you are cross country skiing in the mountains around Seattle‚ you can hear each little sound caused

Speaker in poetry Christen Borgersrode I chose to write about “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden. This poem was a touching memory as the speaker looked back on how he never thanked his father for all he did on those chilly Sunday mornings. In lines one through five the speaker talks about how the father would always get up in the early morning‚ in the “blueblack cold”‚ and get a fire started to warm the house after working hard that previous week.

My Favorite Superbowl Sunday The day had finally come. No it wasn’t Christmas or the New Year‚ Kwanza or even Easter. It was the the most glorious day of all days‚ the Superbowl. Now for anyone who has never heard of the Superbowl and lives in America‚ that person has either lived in a cave for their whole life or…well that I think would be safe to say that’s probably the only case because everyone knows what the Superbowl is.
