Creative Writing Class

For my Creative Writing: Poetry course we had to write a poem with these instructions:

Picture in your head something that you've experienced/a memory that you've had. The examples were camping and such. You were encouraged to elaborate or embellish.
Here were the prompts:

Title: Fill in the blanks "The _______ of ________"
  • 1st sentence: Looking down from above-descriptive
  • 2nd: Action sentence- Something moves.
  • 3rd: What are things people brought with them? Elaborate.
  • 4th: Quote something someone said.
  • 5th: More scenes-Include images, and things that are happening that you're not aware of.
  • 6th: Write a sentence starting with "All along"
  • 7th: Write two sentence fragments.
  • 8th: Write a desire- Bonus points if you begin the sentence with "let me".

So... Here is what I came up with:

The End of Coming as You Are
by KaTrina Gayken

The city looked awfully busy that day.
Cars flying by going west and crawling headed east.
Students carried book bags and had a sort of stench that high school boys could never leave at home.
Driving by, someone was attempting to sing along with the radio "I'm so happy 'cause today I found my friends, they're in my head."
Eventually we pass the scene, a car overturned with sirens blaring and people rushing around trying to account for everyone.
All along, as we traveled to Seattle, the boys were only in it to get out of class.
A girl fell. Smelled stench. Gagged.
"Let me buy you some soap" she thought.

So...That's what I wrote. At first I wasn't a big fan but when the professor read it out loud, it just sounded better coming out of someone else's mouth. He called it "strange" and "provocative" I enjoyed it. When he reads peoples works, he doesn't read their names and after class people were talking about it and about how much they liked it! One person even picked up on a few things I hid in the poem!!! It was so exciting to have someone pick up on the fun things I put in the poem.

Want to know what it was that I put in the poem? Nirvana references. Six of them to be precise.

Hope every one's having a great day!
