		<title>Revised Poem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Acoustic songs drenched in light beer.
Over and over again they play.
The scratches don’t mean a thing.
 
An eighteen pack of burnt shoulders.
Peeled skin shines in the empty sky.
Sun-soaked hair the color of old dandelions.
 
Sand falls in and out of little painted toes.
Tanned feet with double white lines.
Shows where the sun can’t reach.
 
Soft blankets swallow you whole.
Fireworks [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kbuchalski.wordpress.com&blog=2647300&post=14&subd=kbuchalski&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>March 31st Poems.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Summer I Was Sixteen: I found this poem to be very familiar for me.  It used a lot of imagery and reminded me of summers I have had in my teenage years.  The third stanza was my favorite.. &#8220;Past cherry-colas, hotdogs, dreamsicles, we came to the counter where bees staggered into root beer cups [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kbuchalski.wordpress.com&blog=2647300&post=13&subd=kbuchalski&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>What if..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What if George had been married?  Would he feel that his life was so pointless?  He would have been happy, maybe he would have had children or even grandchildren by now.  Maybe he wouldn&#8217;t focus all his time on his car and his antiques.  He would travel and spend time with his companion; but because [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kbuchalski.wordpress.com&blog=2647300&post=10&subd=kbuchalski&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Pie of the Month Reading Response</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thoroughly enjoyed reading Pie of the Month.  It was really interesting how the writer related all of the pies of the month, to the month they were baked in.  I know the point was for the pie to correspond with the month, but I actually sat here after reading this and realized that every [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kbuchalski.wordpress.com&blog=2647300&post=9&subd=kbuchalski&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Quite the character.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[George O&#8217;Reilly is a man of few words, but a man of kind ones.  He celebrates his 70th birthday this year, but secretly he wishes he wouldn&#8217;t live until then.  He has kept to himself really ever since his wife, Sarah, passed away a few years back.  Since then he feels he has nothing to live for.  His [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kbuchalski.wordpress.com&blog=2647300&post=8&subd=kbuchalski&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Almost forgot about &#8220;Proofs&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The most important part of a memoir is detail.  Richard Rodriguez really establishes that idea in the first paragraph of his memoir, Proofs.  &#8220;All the rest happens with words. Your feet are tearing dry grass, your heart is lashed like a mare. You trip, you fall.  You are now in the United States of America.

		<title>Workshop and things.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After the workshop, I sat and thought about the different styles each of the persons in my group had.  I really liked how Monica wrote about different events that all happened at the same setting.  She also added some facts about her topic at the end of her piece which really was interesting.  Kelly focused [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kbuchalski.wordpress.com&blog=2647300&post=6&subd=kbuchalski&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Prompts derived from &#8220;Rain&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Until I came to college I did not know that time management was the most important tool to being successful.  Throughout high school, I procrastinated wherever procrastination could take place.  I waited till the last minute for everything.  I wouldn&#8217;t leave my house in the morning till the last minute and I would nearly miss [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kbuchalski.wordpress.com&blog=2647300&post=5&subd=kbuchalski&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
