Childhood Experiences The walls were miles high. The stream was a torrent river‚ and the scar in the land stretched for light-years. Or maybe‚ I was just four. This ditch happened to reside in my backyard when I lived in a neighborhood up in the foothills of Littleton‚ Colorado. Upon moving there‚ I was not allowed to enter the ditch for any reason‚ for fear of the deadly venom of the rattlesnakes that prowled the area. Considering how forbidden the ditch was to me at that age‚ I sure spent

One thing I could say is the interval time between my sixth and eighth grade was the time that I cherish the most.

I feel the first and most obvious is in the titles. Death of a Naturalist is straightaway obviously more dreadful than his other title‚ any reader upon seeing the word death is shocked. However the title‚ Mid-Term Break is much more subtle‚ even though it is the more awful of the two poems‚ it doesn’t
