memories of home
Driving up to the house, my house, the tires screech to stop as the carts tires also most to the rhythmic symmetry that I have come accustomed to my whole life. As the car comes to a full and complete stop everyone clicks off their seat belts and the big van door slides open and everyone moves like a well-oiled machine to exit the car. Someone locked thee front door so one of the kids runs through the side of the house to open the door. Like little white mice all the children move and to their separate ways throughout the house to occupy their short attention span and in no time at all everyone is either watching television or on a computer or screaming and yelling at each other. The time with my family is so special but I appreciate when they are gone from the house so I can have it to myself. I love making miniature campfires in the backyard which is the largest in the neighborhood. The wind blows throughout the trees and the smoke gently sifts vertically up toward the canopy. These are some of my favorite times
I remember just sitting on my bed, innocent and wondering about nothing I would hear the rain fall from the sky and the cars moving through the rain where the tires would sift the water to either side of them.
What an awesome feeling the rain can make. It is not a bad feeling. Its not a depressing feeling. It is a feeling of youth. And not caring about anything other than where the rain is coming from.
Just sitting on my cold bed I have a weird feeling of warmth. As I have the comfort of the fireplace downstairs warming the house in such a natural way. As if it does not matter how wet you get or how low one can go the fire in its secure position makes me feel secure. And when I get wet from the water from the sky, the fire will dry away the cold in my bones.
The sound of rain is one that is hard to explain. Its like the soft clapping of hands in a certain rythim come together and feel so natural. I miss the sound of rain, and simply rain

    The afternoon rain had been generous. The air was cool, and the fresh, earthy scent made my walk home slightly more pleasant than usual.

    One second the rain would be pouring down with such force that you could not see a foot in front of you, and the roads were flooded up to your knees, and the next it was sunny and sticky. The humidity was so high that you constantly felt damp, and your hair frizzed the second you walked outside, but nonetheless it was a beautiful place to see. I walked in the door to stacks of suitcases and tons of kids just like me playing games and getting to know each other. They handed me my lanyard, key, and name tag, and it was time to say goodbye to my parents until the week was over. I was no longer excited , but now apprehensive and wondering if it was too late to back out. I knew it was, and finally said goodbye retreating to my assigned table. There were only two other kids sitting at my table when I arrived but they already seemed to be best friends. By the end of the night I was exhausted, but reeling with excitement for the adventures I would have with my new friends. I texted my mom to say goodnight, and set my alarm for five the next…

    As I sat on my steps in the front of my house, I could not help but notice how much it had felt like fall. You could smell the rain from the day before from Hurricane Isaac that had finally stopped after raining for a whole day straight. In addition, you could see the leafs changing to its beautiful red, orange and yellow colors and falling off the trees which of course were mostly landing on my car. While I was sitting there in the perfectly shaded area, I was reminded of how much fun being a kid when I saw a few kids chasing each other on their bikes. In addition, while sitting there I could hear many different things that were also going on. I could hear the sound of a hammer from my neighbors working hard, as they continued putting yellow siding up on their house. I could also hear dogs barking along with the sound of my other neighbor across the street mowing their lawn, which was green and brown from the hot summer we had. Along with all of that, at the end of my street I could see a loving mother comforting her child that was crying because he fell.…

    ‘Late love’ is obviously about being in love as well as not being in love. The main theme of Jackie Kay’s poem is exactly this, the contract between these two types of people and how this reflects upon them. The poem divides these two emotional states into almost equal groups. The first two paragraphs consist of eight lines which describe the appearance and feelings of people in love. The last two paragraphs consist of nine lines which describe the equivalent of people not being in love. The poem begins by describing the appearance of people stricken by love, “how tall they grow… their skin shining”; a metaphorical way of saying that love brings out the best in people. In the second paragraph the poet illustrates the difference in these people’s expressions and priorities from the moment their feelings have changed, “How filmic they are just for this time”, as if taken out from a romance movie, and “how important they’ve become”; their love has changed their sense of how significant they feel now that they have a person to share all their secrets and experiences with. The line “Every church bell ringing, a fresh sign” perhaps means that this sound now…
