    For my gut reaction writing, I read “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden. The poem brought back memories of cold winter nights by the fire. My living room has a gas fire, and even when it is below 40, the living room can still be 80. The second stanza reminded me of the days I would spend cross country skiing, especially the part where Hayden says the cold is splintering and breaking, because when you are cross country skiing in the mountains around Seattle, you can hear each little sound caused by the wildlife in the trees. The other part of the stanza also rang true to me. My parents divorced when I was young, and I spent most of my time with my dad early on. He was working a whole lot at this time, and he would be short-tempered sometimes,…
