Dialogue

* Two sisters tallking, Person 1 comes into the room to start the conversation while Person 2 is sitting on the couch.

Person 1

“Oh my gosh Aimee, Aimee guess what?”

Person 2

“What, what?”

Person 1

“So today I was walking through the park and there was this giant bird”

Person 2

“What kind of a bird?”

Person 1

“Like a uh.. how am I supposed to know, and I was like walking past the bird and there was this girl walking by talking on her cell phone saying all these mean things, I think to her boyfriend”

Person 2

“What was she saying?”

Person 1

“Stuff like I can’t believe you did that you stupid a**hole”

Person 2

“Ok? What does that have to do with the bird or anything related to even being at the park or anything at all?”

Person 1

“I have no idea it was just a cool looking bird, but the girl was like arguing with someone and I think she said something like “so he isn’t my real dad?””

Person 2

“Ok hang on I am so confused! What are you talking about?”

Person 1

“I have no idea, I’m confused too, this did have a point but I kinda forgot where I was going with it”

Person 2

“Oh my gosh!! But I really do have a story for you, today my computer broke down again so I called dell and I was on hold for 48 minutes before I even got to talk to someone, and then they were foreign and I couldn’t understand anything they were saying, and the dumb guy kept trying to get me to buy this hundred dollar plan in case anything else happened again”

Person 1

“Did you?”

Person 2

“No way, I was like I don’t want to buy any dumb plan of yours, I’m not spending my money, I just want my computer fixed, I have been on hold for 48 minutes and nothing is getting done, then the dell guy was like I’m sorry mam let me try and help you now”

                “And I was thinking try? Your only gonna try? Dumb company”

“Then the dumb foreign guy who I don’t think knew much about computers was like well there is nothing I can do for you, it looks here that the warranty on your computer expired yesterday”

                “Then I was like are you kidding me? You sold me this stupid piece of crap, you better fix it or I am never going to buy anything from dell again”

“Then he was like mam, mam, mam, please calm down..”

                “And I interrupted and was like calm down? You want me to calm down? No way! Just fix my computer already”

“Then the stupid dell guy was like mam, I’m sorry but there isn’t anything I can do for you, if you go to our website you can shop for other computers and you can just buy a new one”

                “Then I was like are you freaking kidding me!! I am NEVER going to buy another product from you again, they suck! Goodbye! And then I hung up the phone!”

Person 1

“Oh my gosh dell sucks so much, I’m sorry Aimee, you can use my computer until you get yours fixed”

Person 2

“Aww thanks!!”

Person 1

“And your story was soo much better than mine!”

Howl Imitation

I see a generation of people bound together by material goods, who only want more even though they are already surrounded by way too much.

A generation that says “large please” when ordering the already unhealthy burger, fries, and soda from the local fast food restraint, while complaining when it takes longer than 30 seconds to receive the food.

I see a generation so immersed in technology that they don’t see what is going on around them, like when they are driving down the road 80 miles per hour texting and looking down at their phone.

A group of people who stands hours in lines for free food as well as the newest latest and greatest piece of technology.

I see a generation of people becoming more and more round and more and more lazy every day. A group of people who are saying tomorrow I will start, day after day after day.

A group of people so drastically different from the last, so changing and unconnected from the past generations. So stuck in the “new ways” that they don’t know any different, creating TV shows out of things that used to be considered highly inappropriate.

I see a generation that should reconsider all their values, beliefs, and morals and create a more positive look for the generations to come.

 

 

Imagist Poem

Running

The pale black pavement under the bright blue sky
Lifting the world off my shoulders

 

Sestina

The best time of the year is always summer
After the storm, you can find a rainbow
The oh so soft grass of green
And the full bloom flowers of red
All the wonderful grass and flowers fueled by the sun
Only to be cooled by the breeze

The blowing wind, sometimes only a breeze

Fills the hot days of summer
Ever so, hot from the sun
Off in the distance the faded rainbow
The sunset with the deep color of red
The trees with deep leaves of green

 Deep shades of green

The wind calming to a breeze
The flag oh so red
The wonderful time of summer
The storm calmed with the rainbow
The bright yellow sun

Behind the clouds the sun

Peeking out to make the flowers grow green
The so bright rainbow
Often with no breeze
The hot hot summer
Making little children bright red
 
The children all red
Having fun in the sun
Enjoying the summer
Laying in the green
Enjoying the breeze
Wanting the gold at the end of the rainbow

The many colors of the rainbow

The brightest is red
Hidden from the breeze
Made brighter from the sun
Barely can see the green
The fun times of summer
 
The bright rainbow only seen in the sun
All the colors both red and green
Always a breeze in the hot days of summer
