Ever-flowing feelings on prom night
A shaken can of soda. Electrons around a nucleus. A fan whirling around. A car not starting. Marines around holidays. Someone calling while on dial-up internet. Waiting at a filled hospital. Guiteau after Garfield won. The finding of Elizabeth Smart. Becoming engaged. Going to a foreign country. A ship lost at sea. The night after running a marathon. A small child at church. Red Sox after '04 world series. Drinking cocoa after playing in the snow.

Not only did I read your lovely metaphor story, but so did my roommates. We absolutely loved it! My roommate Leah keeps going on and on about what an amazing poem it is. Well done! Room 302 loves you!

Not too complex, but REALLY good. It makes so many points and conveys so many emotions that seem to only be possible through the metaphors you creatively used here. I feel like I understand how you feel, and that I still would even if I couldn't relate to your experience, just because it is so well done.
