Start with no words. You need a clean slate.
Purify the counter-top and leave it to dry.
Take one fresh soul, and soak it in holy water.
(Don't time it. You'll know when the time is right.)
Put it in an awkward body and wait for life to form.
Add a dash of hope and sprinkle love in their heart.
Then leave them alone for far too long.
Once their eyes are black and their tears are dry, move them from one side of the table to the other.
Don't let them fall.
Take a dream and delicately place it in their head.
Let them grow weak from the new surroundings;
Then watch them grow strong from memories of the old.
Give them two hands, and another hand to hold.
Combine purity, confusion, humanity and fear into a bowl; then slowly, immerse them in it.
Let them live.
And then step back -- fate will do the rest.
Once again, random shit from my Creative Writing class that I polished up a bit and decided to put on teh internet... Throw a fucking party...

I'm not in the best of moods right now, but meh.

The assignment was to pick something and write a recipe for it. I'm usually obsessive over poems that rhyme and what-not... I'm really into rhythm when it comes to writing something, which is why I get all OCD about it.

I wanted the bare thought for this one, though. Like. I wanted it to be as real and pure as I could get it to be. So it's not even a poem to begin with... more like a random blurb.

I edited a couple of things. Originally, I had a person in mind when I wrote this. Just a friend of mine, really -- nothing all that special. But the subject had a gender, and I talked about which hand is more dominant (ex. left handed or right handed). I took them out because a, I don't want the person I wrote this about to ever realize it exists, and b, because I want the poem to apply to more subjects when released publicly.

I felt like typing too much shit about this.
Does anyone even read this far down?

OMG. I mean that in the least girly, obnoxious way possible. This is utterly amazing, I wish I could write like this for a class.....
