Assignment 3: 2 poems

Haiku:

Strange how one misses

The clear morning’s crisp blanket

And sipping spiced tea.

Limerick:

There once was a boy from Buffalo

Who thought he might give writing a go

But his wife pinned him down

and tweezed his eye brows

At least now that boy's ready for show

  1. hmmm... I'll remind you of how much you miss the snow tomorrow morning when Asher wakes you up at some vile early hour to go out. Yup. It might sound more like "mmmmggtahirhgnlnmmmmm," however, so be prepared to translate. I'm not sure how much the limerick has to do with snow; "Buffalo" isn't actually a synonym for the cold white stuff. Cheater. (I love you!)

  2. Assignment: Describe in detail a character who is about to apologize to another character. Just describe him/her and his/her state of mind -- no dialogue or real story -- and include a brief description of the other character for context. Complete this assignment in the following genres:
    a) children's book
    b) sci-fi thriller
    c) Victorian social commentary (like Austen, James, etc.)
