Writing Activity: Desks & Tables
After a one-week Eid holiday, The Creative Writing Club reconvened yesterday, and we planned our first activity in conjunction with The Photography Club. While they were going to take pictures of desks and tables around the ABP, we tried to focus our energies on capturing those objects in words.

X-Shaped Word
by Aisha Qassim Merekhan
Holding a glass
And simply it
Is a table.
The light
Reflected on the
Table.
Dozens of papers
On another disk.
Qatar Foundation's
Telegraph on a
Table that
The edges are
Bitten.

Everything has a Beginning
by Aisha Merekhan
Prepare to go.
People are afraid of all the wrong things.
Run for your life.
Get ready to run.
Everyone deserves justice.
Money changes everything.
Mercy is for weak people.
Family is here to help.
Listen to your heart.
Success beyond the game.
World at your feet.
