Writing lesson

Taking a page from Joli’s “Writing for Dummies” (has my name all over it, doesn’t it?), I copied a random line from a report I was working on, pasted it into Google and searched for images.

The images I got included the left quadrant of a compass, a pile of Crayolas, a cartoon sun with a smiley face, and a fish lying next to a measuring tape.

The result of my creative efforts:

The sun squashed down on the far hills

A bloated, distorted, vermilion egg

That the eye can suffer

For moments at a time

I blazed quietly

By the flame of the bottle

Streaking by the invisible street

On thoughts of porch swings

Where dead soldiers lie proudly

And all the lazy girls hang and kiss

And heartily the kings of the shame

Sleeping while they love

Rave slowly in praise of the daybreak

For dreamt girls love

With no more blush than the starfall

The waiters know

You see it in their gaze

The waiters here are no strangers to death

Drooping while the virtuous twilight

On the rusty-shuttered eyes impatiently

Goes to lie against the bible-black night.

I was drowned finally

Pulled under by the sounds of the moonlight

Flogging silently at the spellbound winds

Proudly the lords of the tides

Burned savagely in praise of the flagon

Tottering while they walk

Solemnly into the downy bones

Holy shit. This is indescribably good. I am blown away and so impressed. I wish I had written it. I love it from start to finish. Wow. And wow. It makes my chest ache.
