Rain - a poem I wrote.

Hello and welcome back to my blog people. Today I wanted to give you something different. Quite a while ago I wrote a poem entitled 'Rain'. Well, I recently came across it and decided that it was a joy to read! I felt it needed to be shared with people. Therefore, I am giving you my poem 'Rain' to read. Enjoy!


Rain


The patters tap the window at night
The watery splatters awake me from my sleep
The clatter outside from the rattling rubbish
BASHING
against the big metal bins drags me out of bed and over
to the window.

Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter!

The SHATTER
of a glass bottle dropped by a drunk man drinking
on the bench scares the black cat
lurking besides so it scatters away.

Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter!


By Thomas - me!


I hope you liked my poem people. It was only a short one, though I initially wrote it at around about half three in the morning when I was woken up. I could not get back to sleep and I find writing poetry to be therapeutic.


Until next time,


Thomas.

Fictional book review: Cat's Eye (1988) by Margaret Atwood.

It's me again... Your favourite book reviewer back with another Margaret Atwood book to review. This time I thought I would tuck into Atwood's 1988 novel Cat's Eye . This novel is gripped with spectral memories of the narrator's past, it is a bildungsroman. A bildungsroman is just a novel that goes through a character's life, from being a child, to growing up as a young person to becoming an adult. Great Expectations  (1861) by Charles Dickens is another example. Anyway, the narrator, Elaine is haunted by Cordelia who I will not give too much about her away. This novel threw me, many times. We had Elaine and her various friends. First we were introduced to Carol, then Grace and finally Cordelia. But it is Cordelia, who's presence is felt throughout the novel. The thing is, I cannot understand why. Without giving too much away, Cordelia was hardly being nice to Elaine and I just expected that as Elaine grew up that she would move on; that she would not have Corde...

Fictional book review: The Handmaid's Tale (1985) by Margaret Atwood.

Hello all, I wanted to post a review of the first ever Atwood text I read: The Handmaid's Tale  (1985). I fell that this novel is very significant at the moment, considering events that are occurring in the USA. This novel challenged ideas namely about sex and the differences between both man and woman. I noticed this the first time I read this at college for my English literature A-Level. That was necessary but I since read it again for pleasure. Considering all that has happened in the past years , especially in the U.S.A, I can understand why they made a T.V series of this book. I have not seen that yet as I am struggling to find it on any service except Amazon. Considering Amazon's support for Israel and the thought of a extremely rich man, getting even richer because of me, I decided I was not that  desperate. But this is not a blog about social politics, you want my authentic and honest book review. It was the vivid descriptions that made this book stand out to me. Right...
