Ruby held onto her hat as the wind blew it back and forth, as she walked down the steps leading to the subway. She was heading to an art convention downtown, but Ruby had an eerie feeling about taking the subway a extremely creepy eerie feeling, because she always took a taxi. Rumors said that the subway was full of creepy bugs, blood, mask people all types of things, but she didn’t believe it soon Ruby finally made her way onto the subway, her stomach rumbled as if a lion and drum were in her stomach and her head spun around in circles as she saw a passenger besides her shooting out vomit when they saw a rat.
A couple stops later 3 more passengers get on, a young woman and two older men they sat down. Something wasn't right about the young

    TODAY WAS NOT a normal day for walking home. The clouds that shined over the town made me slightly put off by the idea of Santa Rosa for a corn dog. Not like they had good corn dogs, but I was hungry and carried a heavy pocket full of sunshine. I guess I was meant to stop at a random road today, because as I stood staring up at the clouds (and finally knowing what Louis was doing all that time when she was daydreaming), I wasn't the only one who ditched school. There was another figure that came from the same direction that I had come from, stomping her way down the street and holding a look that was deadly, carrying a knapsack too big for her arms.…

    On the Subway

    • 4 Pages

    The poem "On the Subway" by Sharon Olds plays off its title to convey a sense of uncertainty, dread, fear, and urban tension. The poem itself details the feelings experienced by the speaker as she sits on the subway, though the subway itself is not mentioned in the poem itself. The situation is set by the title, and this makes all that follows clear as far as its meaning is concerned. The poet creates a dramatic situation through the eyes of one participant, and while nothing really happens beyond two people observing one another, the poem says much about urban life, racial relations, and accompanying fears.…
