Some exercises from my creative writing class. Write figurative sentences after the prompts to get your “poetic” side going. (Bet you can't tell what my mind was on ha!) I started out really bland, and down right literal but kind of got into it.

I wish for two moons.

I long for lazy fat cats.

I sent that IM oh yes I did.

I fear too much.

I love too much.

I worry too much.

I giggle when he laughs.

I fly in my car along the 101.

I feel hands along my hips.

I cry, “oh baby oh baby”, oh thank god I don’t.

I expect deep shadows to escape my ears.

I swallow whatever is in my mouth.

I vomit everything on everyone.

I smoke juniper branches.

I will do my best for him.

I listen to his voice with ridiculous giddy butterflies.
