Most people desire to enjoy the serenity of the night without thinking about miseries. It is nice to drift into the enigmatic beauty of the stars in the sky and the luster of the moon. At present, despite the hectic lifestyle of people, some are still wishing to enjoy a precious evening in the patio by just sitting around the fire and glancing at its crisp orange flames.
Year-round patio enjoyment can be had when there is a functioning fire pit to keep you warm and spirited. Fire pits are becoming popular by day. Said popularity triggered an influx of fresh designs, styles and materials to complement not just the patio but also the house in general.
Fire pits can be permanent or portable. They serve as containers for barbecues, bonfires, as well as outdoor heat. They also come in different sizes, sources and accessories. Some fire pits use wood while others use natural gas. Several fire pits are also designed to roast marshmallows while others can carry out a more complicated function such as container of a bonfire during a camping adventure.
One of the most striking fire pits available these days is called chimenea. Chimenea is a circular tub made out of ceramic, iron or other metal. It is an outdoor stove that is intended to provide heat and cook food by using fire pit wood. There are also other designs that are intended for the traditional wood fire pits like the copper bowls. Other fire pits have the rotisserie bar option. The portable version of which can accompany you to the beach, woods, or even just in the backyard. You can also use these fire pits roasting chicken or grilling burgers. This is done to make your fire pit investments go a long way. These types of fire pits accept coals and logs as sources.
Complex fire pit designs use natural gas instead of wood. They are usually fixed. Sometimes they use fire pit special products to boost their performance.
In selecting a fire pit, it is best to weigh the pros and cons. If you wanted a portable fire pit, choose a lightweight fire pit that can be assembled easily. If you want a fire pit for your patio, better use a dish or bowl design. Be sure that fire pit special products like screen dome or cover are part of the package. Also consider the size of the equipment especially when you intend to use logs and coals. When you are purchasing a fire pit with grill, make sure that there is an attached tool to raise the grill.
To maintain the fire pit, remove the ashes a day after you use it. Other fire pits require regular painting. Hence, seek advice from the paint store representative near you.

Poems by William Carlos Williams?
Poems by William Carlos Williams
William Carlos Williams was a medical doctor by profession. He was half Caucasian and half Puerto Rican. He was close friends with another important American poet from the early part of the 1900’s whom we will not read, Ezra Pound. I’ll leave you one of Pound’s poems, which happens to be the shortest poem I’ve every seen:
In a Station of the Metro
The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough. – By Ezra Pound
At the Ball Game
The crowd at the ball game
is moved uniformly
by a spirit of uselessness
which delights them —
all the exciting detail
of the chase
and the escape, the error
the flash of genius —
all to no end save beauty
the eternal -
So in detail they, the crowd,
are beautiful
for this
to be warned against
saluted and defied —
It is alive, venomous
it smiles grimly
its words cut —
The flashy female with her
mother, gets it —
The Jew gets it straight – it
is deadly, terrifying —
It is the Inquisition, the
Revolution
It is beauty itself
that lives
day by day in them
idly —
This is
the power of their faces
It is summer, it is the solstice
the crowd is
cheering, the crowd is laughing
in detail
permanently, seriously
without thought
Response: What are the positives and the negatives about a crowd? One paragraph in length. Think about what he says with regards to the “flashy female” and “the Jew.” The crowd is both beautiful and venomous, why?
The Widow’s Lament in Springtime
Sorrow is my own yard
where the new grass
flames as it has flamed
often before but not
with the cold fire
that closes round me this year.
Thirtyfive years
I lived with my husband.
The plumtree is white today
with masses of flowers.
Masses of flowers
load the cherry branches
and color some bushes
yellow and some red
but the grief in my heart
is stronger than they
for though they were my joy
formerly, today I notice them
and turned away forgetting.
Today my son told me
that in the meadows,
at the edge of the heavy woods
in the distance, he saw
trees of white flowers.
I feel that I would like
to go there
and fall into those flowers
and sink into the marsh near them.
Response: What does spring represent (think symbolism) in this poem? Why is the speaker (the widow) reacting differently to spring in this particular poem than she has in the past? One paragraph.
The Red Wheelbarrow
so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens.
Response: This poem describes a scene, except for the very opening of the poem: “so much depends upon. . .” What depends upon this red wheelbarrow? This poem is striking for its simplicity, but much has been written about it with regards to this opening. Write a paragraph analyzing the significance of a wheelbarrow.

Oh I love him too!
Here’s one of his poems that I do enjoy:
LOVE SONG
What have I to say to you
When we shall meet?
Yet—
I lie here thinking of you.
The stain of love
Is upon the world.
Yellow, yellow, yellow,
It eats into the leaves,
Smears with saffron
The horned branches that lean
Heavily
Against a smooth purple sky.
There is no light—
Only a honey-thick stain
That drips from leaf to leaf
And limb to limb
Spoiling the colours
Of the whole world.
I am alone.
The weight of love
Has buoyed me up
Till my head
Knocks against the sky.
See me!
My hair is dripping with nectar—
Starlings carry it
On their black wings.
See, at last
My arms and my hands
Are lying idle.
How can I tell
If I shall ever love you again
As I do now?
