The poems “Daystar” by Rita Dove and “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden share many similar themes. The main theme that these two poems share is being unappreciated. Both narrators used specific language and imagery to support this theme. In the poem “Those Winter Sundays” the father is described to wake up every morning even on Sundays also‚ to warm the house up for his child. He worked all week doing labor and “No one ever thanked him” is a hint that people around him were very unappreciative

You would think living in the Pacific Northwest‚ having to succumb to a harsh cold winter snow would be a norm. Well it’s not‚ and unfortunately snow is something of a blessing and more often than not‚ typically short lived when it does appear. Winter break of 2015 was no exception‚ I hadn’t done anything all break and my parents wanted to go out and do something before everybody was forced to go back to work and school. We had planned to go out sledding with some family friends up on Larch Mountain

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. This shows that the father worked hard

Early Morning Adventures At Walmart Many people take Walmart for granted. They see a dirty‚ crowded "super-store" that is a pain to shop at when you have little patience for busy and overpopulated places. They see a store that can only be described as "cheap" and "vulgar." They see a store where only the lowest class of people shop. Some may even describe it as a "Low class Target." Those people have obviously never taken a trip to Walmart at 3 a.m. Walking through the sliding glass doors

My father died last two Tuesdays ago. As odd as it sounds from someone who keeps a poetry blog‚ I don’t immediately look to poetry for inspiration or comfort. The morning after the Boston Marathon bombings‚ for example‚ the news on television kept bringing up images for me of the science fiction show “Fringe”. Popular movies and television offer‚ to me‚ images and immediate visceral emotional connections. This is our age. So when my father died‚ I did not rattle off a poem. Even as we put together
