Reflection
Finally, I thought
The reason I took Creative Writing My chance to play with words that detonate--sparking images and ideas feelings and impressions Words that denote indisputable dictionary definitions and others that connote cognitive accounts of individual interpretations I explored Williams and Burroway, haiku with pictures, other students and myself. I enjoyed spoken word and perfect peer performances. I wrote poems dense with alliteration, allusion, imagery, simile, metaphor, consonance and substantial titles that were hopefully intense experiences making meaning, and evoking emotion I carried that toolbox with me shaping and sharpening every day I slammed despite my nerves and am very proud to have overcome It is actually positively absolutely more fun than I thought My only regret-- Not enough time |
