His dirty blue overalls
His rough and calloused hands
Clutching the bright yellow rectangle
A jumble of numbers and letters
Black upon yellow
Deep in my mind
I could almost hear the buzzing
Against the death of a summer night
Just a beautiful smooth expanse
Of reflective sea
Stars twinkling in the water
Yet they floated effortlessly
And spun in dizzying circles

It was a numberplate, did you guess it? ^_^ Today, I looked out the car window and saw a man in blue overalls carrying a yellow number plate. Somehow, this stuck with me, and I found the perfect excuse to use the scene for this: "During the week, take a notepad and write down your inspiration wherever you go. Then, place yourself in a peaceful situation. You can chose whether to listen to music or not while you do this. Write a story on something that has inspired you and include this in your artist's comments when submitting to deviantART. It can be as short or as long as you like within the limit of 2000 words." Week One entry in the 10 Week Improve Me Writer's Challenge. Comment please? I'd love to know how my feeble, spur-of-the-moment attempts at poetry is going. (Again, again, again, I didn't know which category for this.) |
