Week 3 Reflection


This week’s class was definitely aimed at creativity and got me thinking about the daunting task of poetry, which no longer appears as baffling to me. I think that writing poetry is a creative task, which should not be forced, but for those of us that don’t thrive in its interminable world the challenge of stimulating the mind and its imagination is intriguing.

Poetry Exercises:

--Alliteration--                                                            --Assonance--
Everlasting Envy                                              Worldly Wonder
Hollow Heart                                                   Romantic Movement
Subsiding Sea                                                  Honor’s Society
Sautéed Spinach                                             Catastrophic Cacophony
Restaurant Review                                         Literary Figures
Irresistible ingredients                                  Thrifty Editions
False Friend                                                     Wedding Bells
Bountiful Berries                                            Lovely Hopes
Mother’s Mercy                                             Declarative Sentence
Struggling Stranger                                        Fighting Figuratively


                   Metaphors
Love is a long awaited journey.
Death is an inevitable sleep.
Birth is the beginning of a new day.
Marriage is a trek through foreign lands.



                         Distances
The unforgettable scent of the purple lilac
   The memories that torture in every flashback
      The melodies of the years that’ll never come back
          All call out for a reason to turn back
