This is poem called Auction by Leona Gom Rain. Machinery and furniture and all my past in naked rows across the yard. the house, garage, and barns emptied,plundered doorways ripped apart. strangers pawing through boxes of dishes and books, prodding the chesterfield with dirty boots and muttering junk. my mother brave and alone and uncrying for the husband just buried and the auctioneeer crying,sold for one dollar the day of the sale there was rain but nothing washed away then or since The poem called Auction by Leona Gom, is set under a sad, gloomy, depressing, and unhappy tone. The context of the poem seems to be one of an unforgettable bad memory: selling precious things for money. The poem surrounds itself with the idea that the worst thing in life is to give up what you love and the memory from it. The father is dead, leaving the family to sell everything they had to receive the needed money and support. Therefore, they auctioned belongings of their father as the mother tries not to cry, but she burst into tears after items are sold. The mother, brave, alone, and upset of the deceased of her love and the auctioneer crying, sold for one dollar set the gloomy nature and the writer emphasizes the mood, the weather, the scene. Losing someone you love, especially a parent, can turn your life upside down. How an individual deals with death is different. Some shed tears while others remain strong. The speaker is saying that you cannot take away one’s life memories with the selling of possession. The tone is strong and sad at the same time, but also truthful. The writer is speaking about how brave this woman is in all this change that is happening to her, and how one day’s rain cannot get rid of the life she lived. Which lives in her own mind forever. "Nothing washed away" reflects how one day's rain cannot remove anything in an individual; one is more than just things, one is love, one is one's memories

1. Change "set under" to written in. Remove comma after "depressing". Change unforgettable to unforgettably. The memory of it, not "from it" Reword "to receive the needed money and support", consider if you actually need these words (why else do you sell things but for money?). Remove the comma after alone. At the death of her love - not "of the deceased of her love". "and the auctioneer crying, sold for one dollar" is a quotation, put into quotation marks. How each individual deals..., not "how an individual". Remove the sentence "Which lives in her own mind forever" and change the previous line to "cannot get rid of the memory of the life she lived". It's a well written piece and your English is obviously of a high standard.
