Some creative writing ideas
By Matthew Harris
Close the gates
So filled with knowing
Seagull screech
Close the gates
When you are so filled with knowing
Shutting down possibilities
Seagulls squabble
What if,
I am an angel
incarnated here
to assist
in changing the world?
After all,
where
do angels
do their work?
Just
in the fields
of buttercups and rainbows?
Or
in the dark
and shadowy places
to bring
the Light?
In Pursuit of Silence
The trams rumble and squeal
Latin music bumps and jumps
The coffee machines steam and roil
The cars hover and troll
The eco warriors petition and teach
The seagulls squabble and screech
The people chatter and mingle
The cake shops burble and tingle
The headphones muffle and blast
The destitute mourn and mumble
The drunks rage and stumble
All the while, the silence
Unexplored, unaware
Noise deprived
Experience crowded loneliness
