Childhood

I had a couple assignments today in my Creaive Writing class. We did Poetry Sketching. Its where you take a group of words and try to make a poem out of them.

 

Here is my first attempt with a continuation of the poem with another group of words:

Words: childhood, porch, thundering, watermelon

 

My childhood consisted

of porch-swinging,

thrundering through

the hills of green grass,

clutching watermelon slices

in our dirt-encrusted hands.

 

Words: Stones, whispers, castle, shoulders

 

We used big, heavy stones

Pretending the were the walls

of our royal castle.

Pride holding our heads high

over our shoulders.

Our tales of glory,

now whispers of the past.

 

Here is my second poem:

Words: barn, empty, beauty, sunlight

 

He took me

to the barn.

We stood together

under the rays

of sunlight.

I gazed in wonder

at his angelic beauty,

but his eyes,

so empty of emotion,

worried me.

I like how you put an introduction to your poem but it's a little distracting. And your attempts of poetry are really nice.

hmm very creative in all of them...I like the last one the best, i think it flows better but they are all good in their own way.

Good Job
