vines
There were vines growing all around me. I couldn’t move. I realized I was trapped in my own mind. Without these vines, i would be free to do anything, to be anyone. But my mind was holding me back. I didn’t know what to do. I just had to sit there and watch as I was engulfed.

smudge
smudging your make up, smudge on your face and your mom licks her finger and wipes it off. a smudge on the wall that erica at work made me scrub off even tho it wasnt my job.

When I think about the word ‘smudge’ I think about all those mornings I woke up at 7am to get ready for college with yesterday’s eyeliner on but spread around my cheeks and forehead

fabricated
Fabricated a life Caught in plasti wrapping A safe guard for wounded parts Fabricated lives and lies Telltale signs Machinery and body parts Slung over rails Is this the making of a heavy Human soul

tornado
the tornado takes me away, far far away further than the clouds and the stars in space and even when i’m up there i can still see your face, smiling down on me as you slide your arm around my waist

boots
i wear boots, they can be high topped, low topped, they’re comfy sometimes. i don’t know, boots are a strange fashion statement. not sure how i feel about them because they’re hit or miss. i like a unique pair or boots. they have to be cool.

beware
‘Beware of dog’. Isn’t that what they always put signs up for? Or is it more of a “we don’t want visitors” sign? Either way, I never enter places with those kinds of signs. I feel unwanted. I feel like they must be anti-social.
They are anti-social.
Am I anti-social?
Maybe I’m just self conscious.

eternal
The saddest lie. Nothing ever lasts. It always ends in a bittersweet memory and hatred of time’s grasp that is so unwilling to unwind. Eternity is a hope that never comes true.

withered
As she stood and looked on, she saw the flower wither at her feet. She was used to seeing living things withered around her. For she was life and death, all in one body. With every step she took she brought forth a bunch of flower and life but when her feet left the ground the only thing left was withered plants.

She was tired of the same old dreary day. Although young, her beauty began fading faster than she had ever imagined when she was a vibrant young woman. The failed loves, the unhappy jobs, and the need for something greater overtook her. She didn’t want to be a withered woman, full of regrets, reliving her past. She wanted to fly.

also
Also. He just kept going on and on. It was as if the world around him didn’t exist. Not that I’m complaining too much. He had a voice that could lull the most restless.

“Also” became an important word in the life of Benjamin A. Rockford. Since his dad married Lucinda 2 years ago, it went from Benny and Robert to Benny and Robert, and ALSO Lucinda and Pete.

also in the desert there was a cat who lost his way. His mother had abandoned him and left him alone so he had to grow up and look for food by himself. Life was hard out in the dry heat but somehow he got by day by day. One day he saw a little brown lizard and thought to himself “where is your family?”

returned
I returned the video to Blockbuster. It’s funny, I thought that they didn’t exist anymore, but in this part of the state, they tend to cling to nostalgia. So much so, that they only rent VHS. Few people remember VHS, let alone have a player, but everyone shares the same maxim: we miss the past, we hate the present, and the future looks even worse.

embellish
leathery
To those who simply passed by and glanced, it was nothing really. To those who took a moment to look at it, it was something worth complimenting. But to the owner, it was everything. Her leather backpack carried everything life threw at her and she couldn’t bear to live without it.

Long days Longer nights Falling into fatigue The blurred vision and the apathy Do not care Do nit live In those moments

Something I experience often and often have to fight. I dislike it because it makes me feel less alive. I wish I could have boundless energy.

My mom is tired all the time, can’t do anything. Has no energy and it is kind of cloaked in mystery.. What does she have? Can it actually be helped with medicine? Why do I treat her like I do when I know she deserves so much better? What is her past like? I want to know more but am afraid to ask. What she was like, her travels with chi, college, grad school, why did she take dad of all people.

flat
The surface was flat. White, smooth, and flat. Beautiful. The flat marble was beautiful. Just simply beautiful. Those were the thoughts going through Roxas’s mind when he slowly awoke from being knocked out in Castle Oblivion and ran his hand up the wall of the building. Wow, he must have hit his head hard.

features
the body is a like an art museum. everything about it is different than everyone elses. No one has the exact same features. Their eyes, mouth, nose, cheack bones, jaw. everything is unique.

cool
There is this icy arctic place under my pillow where everything isn’t just cooler, its calmer. the harsh winds and snow actually settle the blinking lights of the city and mute the sounds of the port. The bird caws are all lost in the wind and nothing is really there, just the cool side of the pillow.

speak
words can do so many things to people. people dont think before they speak. Thats a bitch okay. a real bitch. I hate people that never think about what theyre about to say. It’s a huge pet peeve.

Speaking is the key to building relationships…and maintaining them! Everybody can speak, with their body language, tone of voice, gesture and even with no action at all. Silence speaks a thousand volumes.
Without speaking we would be lonely. Without it we would be void of expressing ourselves to others and making our needs known, even if nobody wants to listen.

real
really annoying to have to compose specific assignments for students who don’t really care about the real world that is really just a pinch away from them. No, but really, I hope to be able to use this activity in class next class, so I hope that it is free and my students can use this activity to help them gain more fluency. Also, it is important to help them just write, really write, to feel the real process as they write interrupted, helping them just exercise their brain in forward motion to
