Wk 8 lit entry
"...And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical..." Supertramp, The Logical Song
OTL I need some catching up to do. Faaaaaaaast. Straight to the entry. Maybe I should so some planning about what to write during class time so I'm not so lost ^^|| And gah, drama groups *nervous laughter... stage fright already?*
Creative writing is going to be a bit of a challenge today, since I can only think of Emily Dickinson's "Much Madness is divinest Sense". Yeahhh. So, maybe it would be a bit easier to tear apart an old nursery rhyme for the fun of it? (boo~) *after writing it* VERY CHALLENGING INDEED TT__TT and it looks so simple when reading it. Rhyming is difficult =3= interpret the poem as you wish. Nonsense makes the most sense :)
The Unabridged Version of Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
He considered the world as a whole.
Contemplating what it was like
To work his mind such as a bike
Letting his own thought conquer and roll.
Thoughts of his, however, came to loll,
Thus Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
Yolk of his soul's essence
Spilled upon their defence
Causing many to gall.
Shattered like a porcelain doll
Shell shards taking its toll.
All the kings horses
Tried to claim his forces
By covering his contents all.
Villainous cur, wretched mole
Still moving away his jowls.
Scaring people of ten
And all the king's men,
"I will survive, Ole!"
Residing in solitary zen
Inside his mind's den;
He heard children call
Him freed from the gallows pole.
Thus they couldn't put Humpty together again.

Humpty Dumpty (nursery rhyme, also used and italicised in poem above) does not belong to me (I wonder who wrote it...)
