Alone in the Drifting Snow

Taking a deep breath, Lillaya let out a long sigh. She wasn’t sure she was ready for this. Standing in front of the full length mirror in her dorm room, she couldn’t help but preen. It had all come together better than she could have ever expected. The [url=http://oi42.tinypic.com/1zptnrt.jpg]lavender[/url] strapless ball gown, with a sweetheart neckline, fit her like a glove. Better than any other dress she could have picked out herself. “I think I’m going to have to thank the Headmistress.” She mused smiling to herself. Making a note to thank Professor Emory for helping her pick out the dress, she grabbed all the fun little accessories to with her dress. Slipping the wand holster onto her right leg, she made sure it was tight enough to stay but not so much as to bother her. A giggle escaped her lips as she repeated the motion for the left leg, and slipped a small flask into the holder.

It only took a moment for the 7th year to put her shoes on, and to put on her dangling earrings on. Excitement rushed through her as she looked at the finished pictured she created. Her curled hair...

    Ms. Kelli Rollins was a beautiful person, inside and out. Being only about five foot four, slim build, and young looking with her big brown eyes and welcoming smile, it was hard to tell her apart from her students at just a glance. But her age and work appropriate wardrobe, that still managed to be totally fashionista perfect, helped her keep a manner of professionalism when working in the classroom. Doubling as a teacher as well as part of Paragould High School alumni also made her seem even more oddly fascinating since none of us ever wanted to come back after graduation. Or so we said.

    The small legs that whisked back and forth in the open space of the vehicle were full of energy. The young girl spent the day with the two people she admired the most. A bigger version of herself sat in the passenger seat with her husband driving next to her. They laughed over conversation. Every so often, the girl would stick thin fingers against her mother’s shoulder to receive her attention. She would say something trivial and obvious, but her mother would still entertain her. She absorbed every phrase her daughter said as if each filled her with a tremendous joy and was the greatest thing ever spoken. Her mother had selected a black dress for her today with a large white ribbon tied around her midsection. Her hair had been combed back in two braids so that the tips were touching her shoulder blades. They were coming home late from a Christmas party at church.

  • The Two Worlds in Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

    442 Words  | 1 Pages

    "Stopping by Woods"    The visible sign of the poet's preoccupation is the recurrent image of dark woods and trees. The world of the woods, a world offering perfect quiet and solitude, exists side by side with the realization that there is also another world, a world of people and social obligations. Both worlds have claims on the poet. He stops by woods on this "darkest evening of the year" to watch them "fill up with snow," and lingers so long that his "little horse" shakes his harness bells "to ask if there is some mistake." The poet is put in mind of the "promises" he has to keep, of the miles he still must travel. We are not told, however, that the call of social responsibility proves stronger than the attraction of the woods, which are "lovely" as well as "dark and deep"; the poet and his horse have not moved on at the poem's end. The dichotomy of the poet's obligations both to the woods and to a world of "promises"--the latter filtering like a barely heard echo through the almost hypnotic state induced by the woods and falling snow-is what gives this poem its singular interest.... The artfulness of "Stopping by Woods" consists in the way the two worlds are established and balanced. The poet is aware that the woods by which he is stopping belong to someone in the village; they are owned by the world of men. But at the same time they are his, the poet's woods, too, by virtue of what they mean to him in terms of emotion and private signification.
