Water and Strung Night
Tarryn

To the girl with shining eyes,
Who dreams of lighthouses and tea.
Of lanterns and lonely beaches, paris in the snow.

I see your face Tarryn

To the girl with shining eyes,
Who dreams of lighthouses and tea.
Of lanterns and lonely beaches, paris in the snow.

I see your face
Reflected
In puddles and fiull moons,
Echos of a smile in smoke strung night,
Drunk on wine.
Yputh crowned in glimmer like
Patters of jazz across rooftops.

I can see you,
Across blue mountains stretched over shimmering sea;
Yoga to the sunrise.

Conversations as
Forgotten seashells strewn over sores like driftwood;
Jungle ruins slung with vines.

I remember you,
Glittered in laughter and youth.
As innocent as first snow on forest floor.

I hope we meet again
In some time,
Somewhere across this wide world In some mist filled hamlet,
Or a city drunk on rain.

Or a lagoon,
Sea lapped as liquorice, Villa.
Soft wind through white curtains.
Candle wick licks, in supple scented mountain air,
You on the balcony gazing at stars.

Until then my dear,
May you soar above the cloudfeilds,
And that your dreams,
All of them
Will be yours.

Until then,
Girl with shining eyes,
Who dreams of lighthouses,
And cities with broken hearts.

Until then ,
Aurevoir.
Tarryn

To the girl with shining eyes,

Yputh crowned in glimmer like

Conversations as

I hope we meet again

Somewhere across this

    n the historical and fictional portrayal, there were some similarities. For an example in the article it states “they went days without food or water” this means that some boys that fled, they went days without eating and drinking water. This matters because people need food so they wont die of hunger and also water because they need water to stay hydrated.…

    This story is very insightful, the author uses strong symbolic language. For an example they said “For the night-wind has a dismal trick of wandering round and round a building”. This quote presents personification at a simplistic level. The author uses higher level vocabulary, but it is written in a simple sentence. The majority of this story is written in complex sentences, yet it is not difficult to find simplicity with in it. They used a lot of strong symbolic language for an example the author said “Heaven preserve us, sitting snugly round the fire!”, this specific quote stood out because I feel as it could be interpreted in many ways by different people. The dictionary definition of the word fire is “combustion or burning, in which substances combine…

    The Movie Water

    • 267 Words
    • 2 Pages

    thI found this movie to be disturbing to watch at some points, but it was mainly sad most of the time. It was one the most powerful movies I have ever seen! In my opinion, I find it horrific for the parents of these widows to even accept the fact of basically giving up their young daughters to men much older than them. I also feel that it was a very cruel lifestyle these widows had lived. Just because their husband had passed away doesn't mean they have to live in such misery for the rest of their lives. Doesn't it seem impossible to believe that some of the things in this movie could have actually happened in real life? and that stuff like this is still going on today? There are widows still living in similar circumstances right now and things in the United States that relate to this situation such as, segregation and slavery. Having to see what these women had gone through all these years, makes us think of how lucky we actually are and how we take the goodness we have for granted. The struggles some of us may have now does not compare to the struggles the women in this video have gone through. It sure made me think twice about things. The symbolism of water in this movie was incredible though. Symbolism of water through out the film was rain and rivers as well as drinking water,to purify the characters and wash away negativities that they had lived through. This movie did help me learn much more about…

    While growing up, James McBride never knew where his mother had come from. When he asked her if she was white, she simply replied that she was “light-skinned”, triggering a long-standing confusion about his own racial identity. As an adult, McBride offers the reader his story by alternating between his mother’s voice and his own. That’s one of the great things about this book. The reader gets the insights on both characters and what exactly makes them who they are.…

    Acquainted With The Night

    • 1047 Words
    • 5 Pages

    In Robert Frost's poem "Acquainted with the Night" Frost has left this poem up for many interpretations. The poem begins “I have been one acquainted with the night,” it means, basically, that he has met, or has some knowledge of, the night. It is a neutral way to say something. You'd say you were acquainted with someone if you had met them, but weren't friends with them. We can read that maybe the individual is restless and has something on his or her mind. While the speaker of "Acquainted with the Night" is acquainted with the night, his surroundings are all very distant, and, in the poem, he has no friends or family.…
