A Peek into the Magic of Creating

The Ramblings of my Mind…

June 16, 2008 · 2 Comments

Today was the start of summer quarter and I am taking a creative writing course.  We had an assignment today that was rather specific in how we were to format it and even giving us the starting line.  So what did I write about?  What else?  Jewelry of course!  This is a bit rough, I haven’t really edited or revised it, but that’s ok.  I’m sure ya’ll forgive me ;)

Obsession

“I couldn’t hold on to a nickle,

Every penny was spent as soon as I received it.

Sorting through shiny glass beads.

Awed by the colors,

Inspired by the possibilites.

Threading my needle and weaving a pattern,

Sucking away the drop of blood from my finger.

Searching for just the right combination,

Working tirelessly until it’s done.

Glorious satisfaction and pride at the end.

Obsessed like a dragon over her hoard.”

And in honor of that poem-thingy I found this picture (I love using google!)
