Experimental Poetry

In my English class we wrote experimental poems where we chose random words and strung them together trying to make sense of the madness. Mine was picked out of Jerry Spinelli's Stargirl, one of my favorite books. It's an action and reaction kind of poem. In my mind, Stargirl is acting a certain way, and the school population is reacting in their own way. 

Stargirl

Moved, dramatic, giver, watcher, ukelele, sunflower

Summer-tanned faces, staring, buzzing

Marooned, Hot Seat, interesting, strumming, singing, bobbing

Boggled, stone silence, single

Marching, strutting, twirling

Disbelief

Freckles, no makeup, doe eyes

Unreal, actress, scam, nutcase

Bold, smiling, strumming, singing

Plant, expose, hoax, fake

Unchanged, survive, dancing, moonlit hour, REAL

Carraway

Summer Countdown

Summer is just three days away and I'm counting down the seconds. This weekend I had my first taste of summer and I have high expectations for this coming one! I can't wait to be laying by the pool, reading my favorite fashion and beauty magazines and hanging out with my friends late into the cool summer mornings. I just have to get through the next three days and one final. Unlike last summer, this summer is as full as can be! In addition to my internship and tennis I'll be going on several vacations including a cruise, a trip to L.A. and a trip to Florida. Also, I'm going to be going to a couple concerts, One Direction, and Taylor Swift. I seriously can't wait!!! This summer will be so nice to just get away and get some space from some people and become closer with others. Looking forward to a wonderful next three months under the sun!
