Weirdest poem I've ever written...

This process was extremely detailed and very confusing, but you've got to know it.

First, Dr. Dubrasky said to visualize ourselves getting into a car, and driving to our favorite place. Then she told us to write down 15 nouns, 15 action verbs, and 15 adjectives/adverbs that were in or described the place we visualized. Then she told us to make 3 categories: blue, black, and brown. We had to put 5 nouns, 5 verbs, and 5 adjectives in each category. Then we had to pick one word that described that category. THEN we had to pick one more word that described the three describing words. That final word was to be the title of our poem, and we had to use one category for one stanza, adding words if necessary. So here's my poem:

PINPRICK

The children playing, splashing

Bright blue sky onto the cool driveway,

The wind blowing, sending yellow shadows flying

Onto the shining green grass

Near the hedge entwined with wisteria.

The fence is waiting,

Humming with electricity,

Guarding against the mountains beyond.

The family in the house behind the pergola is laughing,

Stupid little chirping laughs,

Like the birds in the red tree.

But the silence and calm of the mountains is so alluring,

And the golden sunlight is warm on my skin,

So I’ll be patient.

The sharp smell of weed killer permeates the air,

And I can hear the small sound of gnats buzzing above the kiddie pool,

Creating a discordant harmony with the lazy chirping of the crickets I can see in the

grass.

The pool water is still, and all is quiet,

Sitting in the sun, talking with my brother on a warm summer day.
