Bless Me, Ultima Poem
Silence of the night is bitterly killed by Ultima’s owl
Watching for death, clashes, and punishment to happen before its eyes.
Keeping Antonio company in place of Ultima,
Warns of trouble to come.

Owl, owl, owl
Just an owl you are not.
A second body, soul you have in another place
Past mountains, across oceans it is not.
Merely across the street gathering herbs for witchcraft For you have been blamed for using against man.

Pigeon of the night
Just a kind soul you were not.
The injuries of many, the sins of death
Which you have committed.
Yet karma remains a friend of yours.

Shriek!
The dark was a friend
When you had an enemy.

rustling and whirling above, heads ducked, arms up.
Friends, protect yourself
As the owl will attack.

however the owl only sought one man.

bruja! bruja! fools. Tenorio, injured. by its sharp talons, his eye was gouged out of his face.

Spirit of the moon,
Spirit of the night. spirit of the llano.

Soul, soul, soul you were the soul! the soul of ultima. the protective spirit.

the death of you means the death of the bruja!
Death, death!

but how?

tenorio is already on the move, but where to?

the shadows of the house of ultima.

bam! bam! dead. bullets were the answer! the gun managed to kill the owl.

the gun now pointed at tony, two hundred pounds of fear, worrying on him. bam! a bullet in tenorio. dead. dead owl was buryed on Ultima’s command.

a blessing was given. tony asks for a blessing,

bless me,

    The passage begins with extreme imagery about a terrifying, “merciless” (16), “endlessly hungry” (41) creature of darkness with an “insatiable craving for the taste of brains” (22-23) that would “eat the whole world” (26) if it could. The great horned owl is described to be the epitome of horror. Oliver is struck with trepidation as she “look[s] up and listen[s] to the… snapping of its hooked beak” (4-6).…

    Just as poetry is a permanent mark of feelings that last forever on paper, tattoos are permanent symbols that last forever on the skin. Tattoos and poetry can easily be combined such as in Kim Addonizio’s sonnet, “First Poem for You,” the speaker admires her partner’s nature themed tattoos in a darkened room. This may seem to be a simple poem, but by utilizing tattoos as symbols, including tactile and visual imagery in her poem, and using the sonnet as her structure, Addonizio laments about the true meaning of relationships and their longevity.…

    “Adam and Eve” by Ani Difranco and “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid are two literary works that speak to the issue of how important it is to have a mother in a daughter’s life. It is the life experience(s) that can only be communicated to a daughter by her mother. The emotions, feeling and understanding of the female experience of what a woman goes through in life. When a young lady does not receive this information for the female prospective is the difference between socialites view and becoming of a “bad” or “good” girl. It is critical to have a mother in the life of a daughter to provide emotional balance, feeling and understanding from a woman’s point of view.…

    As the Catholic Church continues to frown upon homosexuals, they continue to frown upon transsexuals to an even greater extent. They see it as even larger perversion of the (already perverted) homosexual lifestyle. At the risk of generalizing, I would argue that many transsexuals then find that they need someone or something that will not judge them and only treat them with the respect they need. La Santa Muerte helps to fill the void left by society in many North American transsexuals. With most people not liking what they do not understand or ca not explain, this makes transsexuals the perfect target for them and the Church. People cannot explain why there are transsexuals, they do not know how hard it is to be transsexual, and they…

Marcus Payne, once imprisoned for killing a man with a knife, has been bonded out of jail and sent to do work on a plantation.

    Minerva Jones Poem

    • 4 Pages

    In the epitaph "Minerva Jones" by Edgar Lee Masters I learned that she was looked at as a person with a "heavy body, cock-eye, and rolling walk" and that she was the village poetess. The people this poetess speaks about are as she refers to as "Yahoos of the street" these were the people who would hoot and jeer at her as she walked by because of her looks. She also says that someone named Butch Weldy captured her after a brutal hunt and that she "sank into death, growing numb from the feet up" she is now pregnant by Butch. This lets us know how the poet's view on small-town America because not only does that seem bad that in the epitaph the girl is "captured" she is thirsty for love and hungry for life which means she isn't loved nor does she…

Father Mychal Judge was always doing what ever he could to help the community henceforth why he was there that morning. Lieutenant Cosgrove didn’t know the father personally but he knew that he was there that day for a reason, and by helping him that is what kept him and the rest of the men that helped him safe the next two days. He goes on to tell you that there doesn’t go a day he doesn’t think of the Father and thank him for keeping him alive.
