Paint

I really like the newest assignments. I had fun with my assignment 5. I combined Green’s work with Jordan’s work to create Nuffer’s work. I also tried copycatting Bok’s work with, taking out all but one vowel. I used A. That was difficult. We didn’t workshop it. I am glad because it was silly. It created me to use words like fart. I know that those pieces were not my best, but it is so neat to try poetry that is outside of the box. I have always been one of creative means. Plus I think that I am poor at classical poetry writing. So, let’s make new. I am excited about the newest assignment, number 7. I am actually working on it right now. It is very early, but I am trying to do a lot of work, so I am not as overwhelmed after break. I began writing this assignment before Theo changed the title. So, I went with the lexical idea, which was an option earlier. I had to look up what a lexical set was. I think it is neat, and I am not sure if it is the right way that I am supposed to, but if it isn’t perhaps I have created my own technique…so there! Accept it as it is. Make art. Make poetry. (Even if it includes words like fart.) Also, I wanted to say my lexical set of poems is actually MANY poems. I am a fan of short poems all of a sudden. Just another form and technique I am experimenting with. I am going through stages of poetry. You may have seen the comment I have left for some of your critiques to use less words. I think there is strength in few words. I am usually a very wordy writer. I am working on that. You will see. I hope you like!
