Either Side of the River

"On either side of the river lie, long rows of barley and of rye, that clothe the world and meet the sky, and through the field the road run by to many towered Camelot...." - Lord Alfred Tennyson's, The Lady of Shalott.

This weekend has been really good... full of late nights, lots of fun and little sleep. Its been grand. This is the fourth day of my 4 day weekend. I was able to finish most of my homework yesterday after church, which is always good... The only thing left is Creative Writing... I have to write a critique on some weird poems (that don't even make sense to me) and then I have to write a poem. That's where I'm having problems. I can not write a poem on que. This year, I have written 3... maybe 4 poems total. Poems, for me are inspired. They are passionate and they are windows into who I am. Poems can hold secrets that can be expressed in no other way. I can't just pop out a poem unless he wants it to mean nothing to me. I'll be honest, I'm thinking about turning in a poem I wrote this summer. Although I do feel a little cheap doing things that way. We'll see I suppose. I promised some friends I'd make them pie tonight... So I really should get going on the English so that I can run to the store and have time to make it and let it sit for a while (at least an hour or two) before they want to eat it. I'm really excited about pie. These guys all take really good care of me, so I feel like I should do the same back. Sometimes they're a little rough around the edges (but really, who's not?) the point is that they have my back in a way very few people do, and that's cool, to say the least. Otherwise, the day here is beautiful! I still ahve five yellow flowers and now a pink one added to my glass cup on my desk. Seriously, this has been the prefect weekend. Today will be a wonderful day and gosh, other than tons of homework -- which is to be expected -- my first week back in Reno, back in college was amazing.

Hey you! So my fiction writing class sounds similar. At first I thought, I don't know what to write and I can't write on command. But when we write in class, he gives us ques and direction. Today we did a free write in class on an event of gender, an event that points to or defies preconcieved notions on gender. I liked it. Maybe if next time you need inspiration just think, "Red," and start writing. Or maybe think "my favorite aroma in the world" and try to infuse that aura into your work. Sounds like fun to me... :)
