CWLA Exercises

Six-Line Poem Exercise
Marble and Sand:

The cold white marble of a conquering queen radiates like the Carolina beaches
With Conway a fly-by town on the way to heaven and a dark end
Spring break inviting the waves of recklessness and salty seas
Horoscopes would give warning or a measure of reluctance, I wish
Because the only shores Russell will ever walk on again are golden
And I will surely pay a visit to the cold white tombstones next year at this time



Five Easy Pieces Exercise
Golden Fields:

Lazy hands, dozy hands
Outstretched in wonder, then falling to earth like petals from the sun
And daffodils are rich like the Costa Rican hills
A question of purpose enters my mind
And he looks up, blinks in slow repetition
Says that the world is a golden wonder
To be explored without cost
As the fields of honey glimmer



Feeling, Seeing, Noting Exercise
Home:

Calm acceptance
that sits
satisfied and assured
A rocking horse and broken clock
misplaced
nesting birds
