Assignment for Feb. 3

Twinkle Lights

Lights bright and flickering,
surrounding our room in dim light.
Eerie to some, but comforting to us.
We sit and talk about everything,
under the mysterious glow.


Popcorn

We watch movies,
and during intense scenes,
we crunch on it.
The dramatic cinema,
captivating us to eat more.
The butter taste of popcorn,
habitual, and almost addicting.


Skyrim

Colorful buttons, being pressed.
A joystick, grasped in fury.
A curse word or two in frustration.
Enemies approach and the music changes.
I lean forwards toward the screen.
Sword thrashing, and spells casting.
Intense battling over land.
The victor stands, the enemy fallen.
I save the game, securing my win.

Crayons

My hand flutters over the box,
all the colors waiting to be chosen,
But I'm searching for a specific one.
A purple, the color of violets.
All of them want to be chosen,
hoping for my fingers to pluck them out.
The sparkly ones, the neon ones, and the metallic ones.
Finally, I see the perfect shade.
I grab it, and press it to paper.
The picture begins to come to life.
