I so much enjoyed reading all of your responses to my first writing exercise that I've decided to post another. This one's rather simple. You just write finish the statement with the first thing that comes to mind. It doesn't have to make sense. And it doesn't have to be about something you're feeling at this moment. I'm going to share what I wrote this morning, and obviously I can't be feeling all of this right now. So ... pick one or all six and have fun! I feel as disturbed (peaceful, expectant, enraged, jubilant, restless) as ...
I feel as disturbed as a black hole, silent in the vastness of space, ready or not to crush all life.
I feel as peaceful as a child on Grandma's lap, after a hot bath and warm milk.
I feel as expectant as a child before the Fourth of July parade, candy bucket empty and waiting.
I feel as enraged as a lioness, separated from a sick cub that she can still smell.
I feel as jubilant as a butterfly, riding the air currents, the inevitability of winter unknown--or forgotten.
I feel as restless as an arrhythmia--pause and start, lurch and jolt--always one step ahead or behind.
