creative writing club feb 4, 2010

yesterday after my absence the previous week (i was ill last thursday) and we read a short poem by one of the underclassmen, which was more of a treat than anything because of her knowledgable use of sound (alliteration and such) and similie, which gave the poem a very rhythmic and esoterical composition. it was trisected into 3 stanzas and the tone shifts, which coincides with the nautical imagery which gave me the impression of being rocked by the waves. i may have mentioned its aptitude for being a tom waites song, but that is insignificant... it was a learning experience because i can see how it might behoove me to pay more attention to my sounds when i write...

SEQUENTIAL ART CLUB 1

so on monday, mrs. klaiber and i were all ready to rumble... she came in on her day off and brought brownies to help with the atmosphere of the introductory meeting... and nobody came. the formality was scattered to the winds and we spent lunch talking to my friend pike who joined me for support.
however, informally i have been addressed by six individuals interested with the club, and so i have been considering my options for how to approach the topics of the april comicon and initiating projects and an analysis of texts. i have at my disposal a 1981 copy of the smithsonian book of comic book comics, which i think has some really excellant examples of the origins of american comics.
on the other hand, i'd really like to hear about what people want to do, and so i should address that the next time we meet. i still have yet to discuss this with mrs. klaiber.
