To kick things off

For the longest time, I've wanted to have my own blog, but I never had the knowledge as to how to get one. As I believe everything happens for a reason... I was reading stuff on another guy's blog that I read, links lead to links, and voila! I found blogspot. My goal is to create at least one blog a day. Probably what I'll wind up doing is writing in my journal for creative writing class and transferring those thoughts from there to here.

So, to get going here, I'll share a poem that I wrote today in class. For the assignment, we had to write down three colors then list everything we could think of pertaining to those colors. I listed tihngs for blue, brown, and white and eventually settled on brown. From the list, we had to arrange what we wrote down and creat a poem. So here's what I came up with. Let me know what you think.

What is Brown?

Brown is Earth

Mud.. greed.

Brown is the wood

Found on trees.

Brown is beaches-

it is the sand.

It is diversity

In the palm of your hand.

I think of pumpkins

At the end of fall.

Brown is the movement

Beneath it all.
