Poetry

We started Poetry in Intro to Creative Writing today. Our assignment at the end of class was to write a ten line poem in ten minutes that included an altered cliche (in the first line) and five given words (italicized). Mine was a piece of shit, but I'll throw it up here anyway.



Hey! You! Come onto my cloud. Where
we can watch the days float away

Our mothers and fathers have done just the same
We'll stay back from the cliffs. Don't join in that game.

Isn't it wonderful eating blackberries?
We'll spend our days picking them till we are wary

There's no need to hustle, no need to run
cause there's no where to go before it is done

So stay on our cloud up above all the noise
It's you and it's me and the sound of your voice.
