Creative writing.

This is probably not going to be a post about much. The weekend was pretty fun, and I was able to devote a whole day to being a sloth which always makes me a happy guy. What I really wanted to write about today though is my creative writing class. The beginning half of the semester has been the poetry section where we have had to write poetry every week usually with some sort of form or topic we need to cover. Now to begin with I am not some kind of great writer, in fact I write a lot of crap but its usually just bad and not painful. And of course you can tell especially on writing I don't care about too much I don't put in too much effort with grammar, spelling, punctuation and the like. Well there is a person or two in my class whose works tends to differ a bit, a bit outstanding. SO without further ado here is probably one of the most incredible awe inspiring writers, truly a savant for the twenty first century, here is the piece "The Trip of a Lifetime"

Years ago I went
although I feel like I'm still there
It was my home for one month
Nothing can compare

I was only 13
Just a little kid
On Such a big adventure
There was so much that we did

The land called Croatia
My! What a beautiful place
So much different than America
Things move at such a slower pace

It was my best friend who took me
His family is Croatian
A present from my parents
The trip was quite a sensation

Okay now I know what your thinking, this is sweet! Well it is, I mean first the rhyme scheme is perfect rhyming words like place and pace, and my favorite Croatian and Sensation, its just crafted. Also the exclamation mark really lets you know what needs to be emphasized. Oh and just for the record I did not change a word its all verbatim, I can't accept any of the credit for this wonder, though I wish I could! This kid consistently comes up with great work, I look forward to each week. I really don't know what the teacher is thinking letting us keep copies of everyone else's poetry, maybe she doesn't expect us all to be assholes with nerdy websites. Oh and just for the record there are some talented and intelligent writers in my class, but some kids just need to get a damned clue.
