"Defend yourself!"

—Brom (Eragon)

Ello!

This is a blog for the things I write in English class.

It’s so cool.

Yesterday we talked about the 9 Muses and I got to tell the class the story of Cupid (EROS) and Psyche. I can’t believe I still remember that! Anyway, then our teacher showed us a picture of a statue and we had to write about it . I think everybody thought it was Cupid (EROSSS) and Psyche (and it probably was). Most people were writing short stories, but I decided I hadn’t written a poem in a long time so I did. Here it is:



Wings and Arrows

A girl

prettier than the

goddess of love?



A moment

of distraction

falling

falling

falling

pain in the leg

his own weapon stabbing him



Is it fate

or just a simple accident

doesn’t matter now

love

love

love

visits at night

secrets

curiosity

anger

melancholy

desperation



Missing him

so much



Getting help

from the

enemy

tasks to do

desperation

ants

ants

ants

taking box to

the Underworld

secrets

what’s in it

why can’t she

look

curiosity

curiosi—

no

don’t look

didn’t she learn

curiosity

curiosity

curiosity

OPEN

OPEN

OPEN





Eternal sleep.

  1. Great sketches, both visual and verbal.
    Would you consider doing a visual sketch of Eros and/or Psyche to supplement the verbal?
