Pronouns & Articles: Part 2

I won't lie, this is a difficult assignment. To have my students then throw it back in my face, well that was a pleasure. I don't know if I accomplished exactly what they where hoping for, and I do believe a few expletives may have escaped my mouth when the buzzer sounded, letting me know my 15 minutes was up and my pen had to stop creating. But all in all, I'm happy with what was written.

To complete the assignment, it must be shared. Students had first dibs, but mere hours later (before arriving home) I made a point to stop and find Internet to keep with my attempts in writing and sharing.

So here you go. The creation of 15 minutes writing with the limitations of not being able to use pronouns, definitive articles, and writing in present tense. All on the spectacular image of The Scream by Edvard Munch.

Retreat from Worlds End

Another attempt to see what is unseen, Dante's field tickles back. Out of frame, Death sharpens teeth. Door open, decisions must be made.

Widen--Lengthen--time and place, back turned unable to step forward. Eyes round with sight of corpses eroding through winds hand, distanced from life.

Silent voice fills colored land. Nature radiates through gaping sight unable to feel energies pulse: human meaning. Shadow takes over; slip back towards routine.

Scream.
