I had two different assignments from two different classes and I was able to morph one idea into fitting them both.

This is my Screenwriting assignment; I had to write about an emotional event and I chose to do it on my first kiss.

The Beach

She was wearing watermelon lip gloss. I was nervous.
We were surrounded by trees, a path of sand leading down to the beach.
She had her hands behind her back. I had mine folded across my chest.
We stood with our legs shoulder width apart about an arm's length apart from each other.
She would smile at me and then glance at the ground. I would glance at her and then would look at the breaking waves and stars, the moon partially blocked by the leaves and branches of the tallest tree.
We would catch our eyes looking at the other's.
She had an enticing perfume on. I probably should have worn more antiperspirant.
We weren't oblivious to what the other was thinking.
She thought I was thinking that I was in over my head. I thought she was thinking that she couldn't give me any more hints.
We were young and facing easier problems then.
She took a step forward. I took my right hand and put it just above her left hip and my right hand went to the back of her right shoulder blade to pull her close.
No, that's not what I did. That's what I should have done. I took a step forward instead.
We found each other at the perfect time in our lives.
I leaned forward, lips slightly closed. She leaned forward, lips slightly open.


This is my poem I wrote for Intermediate Poetry Writing and it was a little harder because the professor had a few guidelines you had to follow for the poem. So, I took the same concept and molded it into this poem:


State Park
My still frame        memories
                            hang on me,
weighing my body
                            down  
where the pictures of good times are kept.

We were surrounded
                            by the pine trees
and caught by our own eyes
                            and our innocence
which made us feel free to explore.

It was my first time,
                            though I believe
it was your first time,
                            our lips knew
we should have stayed in that moment forever,
we should have stayed in that moment forever.
