Some
creative writing exercises from yesterday - two poems based around two emotions.
Fear
The clouds roll, amble unaware
Through the blue skies above
White, pure and innocent,
I can almost see the reflections
of the peace below
The greening fields, gently
sleeping corn, a man and his young dog
Taking in the day
But gradually the underworld
beneath the tranquil earth
makes the clouds turn grey
Billowing larger desperately trying
to out-tough humanity
Eyes of light flash across the heavens
But cannot illuminate, or halt, the evil ways of man
Mild Annoyance
Oh, familial love! You pounce and play
Rip tails off cotton mice, and bring
back real ones as a touching,
if nauseating, offering of affection
Your fiercely independent little face
That snaps around, endlessly seeking more entertainment
until.
Until, my hand hoves into view
The salt must glitter and gleam on
my skin! The grooves and lines
and baby hairs entice you to take a bite,
and test my patience.
You little bastard.
