'Rieting time' color adj.

This is a copy of the poem that I wrote for my first meeting with my bud Rachel. I've been putting this off because it is a little embarrassing for me to have this one out in the open. I was laughing so hard I started to cry when I was trying to read it out loud!!!

My mini lesson was on adjectives for color. What it would taste like, sound like, look like, feel like, makes me....

We picked a color for ourselves and then we picked a color for each other that we thought would most represent them. We would take time to write using both. Rachel said I would represent Orange because it is lively and spunky. I said she would be Lavender because she is feminine and sweet. For our writing Rachel picked White and I picked Brown. We began writing adjectives and from that list we would create a poem of our own with out actually saying the color.

(Just as an example I wrote that brown tasted bitter sweet. Brown sounds like wooden chimes in a breeze. Brown looks like warmed skin. Brown feels like antiqued leather. Brown makes me relaxed. (PS. Just remember that this was the first poem that I've written in a very long time. It is raw and is still very rough.)) enjoy.



The game.

We lay across from each other, my heart beats unsteadily onto the earthy floor.
your steady fingers place your destined figure next to mine. Naturally, wanting.
Instinctively my warm hand covers my smooth vulnerable piece.
Your soft eyes smile while you play the part of the Knight. Strong, determined.
Our motions have my queen captured and leaves us only one choice, a walk down the isle.
Tanned skin crinkles on your cheeks like antiqued leather. Warm, inviting.
We are both waiting for me to make my move.
My pale body slides down the row and I am taken. Check, mate.

The Jane Austen Book Club

I just finished the movie 'The Jane Austen Book Club' I absolutely loved it.

In the movie, the leading ladies and one man, chose a Jane Austen book to host for a month of their book club. They discuss the characters, the plots, the flaws, and more importantly the love. In the movie each host is destined to live out their chosen books' plot.

I have always related to one of Jane Austen's characters in a very real and personal way. I have grown to love this flawed women. I believe that I have many talents, short comings, and passions in common with this women. I like to think, that in a way, I resemble this woman.

I was just wondering what character of Jane Austen's you feel that you relate to. Leave me a comment and let me know. I also would love to have a Jane Austen book club. Let me know if you would be interested and if you know someone would would want to get in on this!!

Memory Maker

I've seen this on the blogs of a few other people and thought it was kind of fun. Reading the comments is the exceptionally entertaining bit. Here's what you do:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

have you ever??

Have you ever came back late from a movie that had a scene that kind of freaked you out, and when you got out of your car the sky is pitch black and you wanted, more than anything, to get inside quickly? Then you forget that you have something in the trunk to take inside. So you turn around quickly and clumsily scrape your car trying to get your key in the lock. You open the trunk and the eerie bloody orange light from inside cascades across the lawn and creates shadows you didn't notice before. You see something large and eye level twitching in your peripheral vision and you rip out a blood curdling scream that probably wakes up the whole neighborhood. Then embarrassingly you realize it was your bangs moving with the breeze that frightened you?? And in the moment of pure terror you slammed the trunk halfway on your purse so you can't flee the scene.

Yeah-me neither.....

'Rieting time' found poem

So my bud Rachel and I have decided to start a writing club. We both used to write all the time through school but after graduation we have fallen out of the habit. I've been writing and dabbing into some novel ideas that I've had over the years, but I have completely lost touch with my poetry side. My talent is not as fluent as it used to be. Every other Tuesday Rachel and I are trying to get together to just take some time to write. She cleverly named it 'Rieting time'. This last Tuesday we got together with our friend Shea and created a found poem. Rachel brought magazines and had us cut out works or pictures of things that described us or that we related to. Here is my poem;

in plain sight

I am clean and chaotic

independently needful

wrinkled yet regal

determinedly nostalgic

I am a girl

skin, is smooth milky white

habits show in my style

I haven't trusted in a while

pending a trustworthy Mr. Right

I am a feminist

cool as a cucumber

smokey eyes sparkle giddy

sweet perfume scents me pretty

my thoughts not left asunder

I am a lady

future, a paved and flowered trail

completely spiritually attached

my life is wisely attacked

sprinkled in feminine details

I am a women
