Unexpected Ode
Ode to my Boots:
You have been
to the campfires
Walked with me through school
You have ridden
the four wheelers
and carried
the deer.
You are always there
ready for
the next adventure.
I see you in
my closet
loyal and waiting
You have
scuffed up toes
and beaten
up soles,
but you're always there
ready for the
next adventure.
The brown on
the bottom
is starting to
wear
The camo
on the top
still bright with color
No matter
where I travel
no matter
where I go.
You will always be there
ready for
our next adventure.
What would
I do without my
beaten up
boots.

Literary Imitation
My mother:
You are the needle and the thread,
the plastic cup and the hot tea.
You are the sunrise in the morning
and the shining stars at night.
You are the low rise pants,
and the kitten playing with string.
However, you are not the brisk wind in winter,
You are the sunrise in the morning
and the shining stars at night.
You are the low rise pants,
and the kitten playing with string.
However, you are not the brisk wind in winter,
the junk food in the pantry,
or the basket of laundry.
And you are certainly not a 9-5 worker.
There is just no way that you are a 9-5 worker.
It is possible that you are a deer in the meadow,
maybe even a cow eating apples,
but you are not even close
to being the tumbleweeds crossing the roads.
And a quick look in the mirror will show
that you are neither the recliner in the living room
nor a sticker on a bumper.
It might interest you to know,
speaking of the plentiful imagery of the world,
that I am the mud that sticks to boots in the rain.
I also happen to be the North star,
the leaves growing on a tree
and the jean jacket over a summer dress.
I am also the waves in the ocean
or the basket of laundry.

I am also the waves in the ocean
and the dresser that holds the clothes.
But don't worry, I'm not the needle and the thread.
You are still the needle and the thread.
You will always be the needle and the thread,
not to mention the plastic cup and--somehow--the hot tea.

About me
My name is Alexis Heminger and this is my second semester at LCSC. I am majoring in Elementary Education and so for I am really enjoying it.
I moved here from Boise, Idaho last August and I love the change. I now have a job hosting at Applebee's which is very fun.
I love to do anything outdoors and hanging out with my friends. I can't wait until summer because I love going swimming and tanning outside! I also love kids. I used to be a nanny for 2 years for 2 little boys and I miss them very much! I can't wait to get my degree so I can someday become a teacher.
