When I was told that we were to write a Lyrical Essay/Montage for our free write I started panicking a bit. 1)  I'm not good at writing poetry and lyrics are basically the same thing. 2) I had know idea what lyrical essays were until it was explained. Needless to say I was over thinking things...again. No surprise there. Once I settled down and just listened to the music playing it became easier to think. I just let my fingers tap away on my keyboard and create something. Even though writing in a Lyrical Essay/Montage form was awkward for me I have to admit that I enjoyed it. So this is what I came up with....
Sleeping beauty dancing in a meadow, rodents scampering under the shady trees, compelling, frustrating, heartbreaking, yet beautiful like a shakespeare play. Our fingers laced tightly afraid to let go, afraid of what the morning will bring, tears glistening brightly, dancing to our own music, a wave of sweet sounds crashing around us. Darkness and light. 
The second writing prompt was a heck of a lot easier for me to do than the first one. Power was the word that I chose to start with and I found that a lot of the words I came up with ended in an E. There are only so many words that I could think of that started with an E. Kind of depressing now that I think about it. You would think that spending 12 years in school and taking vocabulary I would have an easier time thinning of words beginning with E. Nope. Maybe it was because I felt rushed...who knows. Below is the list of words that I came up
Power. Right. Time. Tell. Late. Elephant. Tall. Long. Game. Excellent. Try. Yell. Length. Halt. Halt. Halt. Halt. Triumph. Hungry. Yonder. Ringer. Ringer.Ringer.Ringer. Rising. Gone. Escape. Excell. Laced. Daring. Groove. Erase. Escapade. Escapde. Escapde. Earth. Hearth. Heart. Torn. Torn. Torn. North. Horn. Horn. Horn. Notice. Notice. Notice. Earsplitting. Grave. Entrench. Hard. Dangerous. Sleep. Pray. Yearn. No. Obliviate. Erratic. Caper. Rest. Torrent. Teach. Heat. Threat. Teeth. Heap. Pile. Elevator. Righteous. Sing. Gong. Gift. Too. Operate. Ebony. Yes. Soft. Tough. Heard. Dress. Simple. Excplicit. True. True.T True. True. Early. Yup. Pierce. Elk. Kill. Lilt. Tilt. Till. Listen. Nob. Bony. Yen. Novice. Efface. Elder. Read. Dear. Rear. Reach. Hunt. Ton. Numb. Bomb. Blast.

  1. Now link those seemingly disconnected words together to form full sentences - you can add words to make it work, but leave the words in the order that you have here. Might be a very interesting result! ;)
