  10. Metaphor for a Family My family is a medicine chest: Dad is the super-sized band aid, strong and powerful but not always effective in a crisis.Mom is the middle-sized tweezers,which picks and pokes and pinches.David is the single small aspirin on the third shelf,sometimes ignored.Muffin, the sheep dog, is a round cotton ball, stained and dirty, that pops off the shelf and bounces in my way as I open the door.And I am the gauze which hold us all together with my love. By: Belinda

  11. Fifth of July • My family is an expired firecracker set off by the blowtorch of divorce. We lay scattered in many directions.My father is the wick, badly burnt but still glowing softly.My mother is the blackened paper fluttering down,blowing this way and that, unsure where to land.My sister is the fallen, colorful parachute,lying in a tangled knot, unable to see the beauty sheholds.My brother is the fresh, untouched powder thatwas protected from the flame. And I,I am the singed, outside papers, curled awayfrom everything, silently cursing the blowtorch.
