After reading Anzaldua and choosing the line from her work I created a story from it. I think my story is diffent in tone at least, but similar in content. I used a line that was in spanish that translated to "And you know what he did?". The tone of her work was more serious and my story was more pensive and curious. Her main character was strong and intense, but the main theme was the boundary language can set between people. Also when I made my micro fiction from my tweets, the tone completely changed from idle information into a story about distraction and white noise. After completeling these two micro fictions, I began work on the found poem and the haiku. The haiku from my microfictions, is so different from the stories becasue it is shorter and more intense. I found using less words made me think more about the meaning I was trying to convey. I wanted the reader to get a sense of open, emptiness and the narrator was okay with this. Also in the found poem I feel like from my tweets I created a jouney from the place of a jeep. Its like a road trip but more focused on the raod trip of the realtionship. I found it was hard to arrange my thoughts into  a poem.

I used some of the titles of my favorite Paramore songs to make a poem, just for fun.

Hallelujah

I caught myself,

brick by boring brick.

Conspiracy.

Faces in disguise,

feeling sorry.

Here we go again.

Just Like Me,

misguided ghosts

never let this go.

When it rains,

we are broken.

I will be making a Haiku out of lines from my own Micro Fiction which is in the last blog. I will also be composing a Found Poem from 10 of my Tweets from Twitter.

Wrong Way

The window is open,

12:57 stares at me.

This is my stop, empty.

1989 Jeep Cherokee Laredo

Sunsets,

Red Bull’s

and your hand in mine.

 I'd travel anywhere as long as you smile.

Familiar place:

the jeep has bumper stickers, but

not on the bumper. It made me laugh.

The dirty floor mats in your car,

the broken cup holder

and the  loose change in my hand.

It’s taking its toll.

It’s old, a mess.

We drive a lot.

Quiet, except for

faded tans and leftover shells

from where the ocean meets the land.

A story is something that

constantly unfolds.
