Writing Away...

Hey guys!
Stickin’ true to my schedule :)
It’s Wednesday, and you know what that means!!!
Writing Wednesday!!!
Ha. Corny, I know.
So anyway, here’s a lil poem I wrote, about Playland.



Rides, rides, and more rides
Fit for fun, laughter, and good times
You’ll get a thrill on the humongous drops
You’ll feel fulfilled, after the ride stops
Challenges; accomplishments.

Cotton candy tastes so great
Melting in your mouth, and that yummy taste…
Those mini doughnuts—I always want more
I love that taste of fresh popcorn
Happiness; pleasure.

Running around with your friends, screaming
Laughing, chatting, and “oh em gee”ing
Going on scary rides, together
Knowing your friends will be here forever
Friendship; bonding.

All these things, from one big place
Rides, candy, friends, and Horse Race
Yes, Playland always makes me smile
I never want to leave—can I please stay just a little while
Longer?



Thanks for listening :) In the comments, please don’t hesitate to give me more ideas for poems to write about!

And I have one more writing exercise for everyone!!! YIPPEEE :D Haha.
Please do try this, and post it on your blog if you find it helpful.
Thanks to a fellow Lisi Harrison Blah-g commenter for sharing this with me!
Alright, so the task is:
Pick five characteristics, of a person (i.e., loyal, kind, sporty, girly, etc.) and write a story of a page or so, and try to portray all the characteristics you were going for in an obvious way. Then, your friends can guess which ones you were going for, and you’ll tell them if they were right or wrong, until they figure out all five!
Okay, so my characteristics are—oops! Can’t tell ;)
Take a guess… And here goes…
(By the way, the characteristics are of the main character, who's thinking.)



I sit on the lowest step of my house entranceway, watching ants march across the pavement of our flat driveway. It’s a sunny day, and when the sun rays glint off the ants’ tiny, black bodies it makes them look slightly reddish-brown. I wonder what ants think—what they feel all day. Maybe they’re just like us, and deep in those anthills they have communities just like humans. Maybe there are Police Officer Ants, and Lawyer Ants, and Criminal Ants (someone has to punish those pesky little picnic-stealers), and—oh, maybe even Girly Ants, with really long, curly antennas.
I watch one attempt to climb a bright green blade of grass, and quickly fall. Nobody notices, but me; nobody really cares. Sometimes I feel like I, too, am a tiny, meaningless ant. When I struggle in life, nobody notices; nobody cares. I don’t have any friends at school, and I’m not very smart, either. My mom says I have an eye for detail, and that’s a positive thing, but that’s just her trying to cheer me up…
I sigh, aloud. The wind from my mouth pushes a baby ant back wards and it falls on it’s little reddish-brown back. I lift out a stubby finger and gently guide it to it’s upright position. My finger must look like a mountain to that teeny, tiny ant…
If I had friends, I’d definitely share my ideas, and theories on the world of ants. But that’s just the thing—I don’t. And I never will. Whenever I try to go up to someone and say hi, something inside me just freezes and I tell myself, Forget it. Tomorrow, I’ll talk to someone. And I never do… I never do. I can only dream of what life would be like if I had someone to talk with, and laugh with. What’s that like? Is it good? It seems like the best thing in the whole world, to me.
And some day, I will get that. I’ll do great things, someday. My guidance councilor is slowly helping me increase my social abilities—slowly but surely. My tutor is slowly helping me increase my grades—incredibly slowly, molasses slowly, but surely… surely. Someday I’ll have what they call ‘friends,’ and someday I’ll graduate from High School along with them and go off to a big, bold, famous life.
I have great hope inside me… much great hope.
I wonder if they have Councilor Ants and Tutor Ants…? And if so, who do they help overcome problems?
I wonder if they have ants like me.

The end.
Well—can you guess them? ;) There’re five. And I didn’t use any of them in the story, or in my example of characteristics to use.
Well, if you’re bored, you can do one of three things.
a) You can comment on my blog and tell me your guesses, or
b) You can go to your own blog and make your own story, or
c) ALL’A THE ABOVE!!!

I strongly recommend C.
Hehe.
Just a few more quick things…
