No Man's Sky

ACTIVITY: List Colors

This week's Creative Writing Club members followed a theme into the great wordy unknown: write something and include a color in every line or in every sentence.

Black

Black room.
Empty, dark and black.
Deep in the black shadows.

No colour only black.
No light but black.

I close and open my eyes,
and black is everywhere.

Just black.
Pitch black.
Black.

Stone overdone with clouds

All sky whitely drab

In Hogwart’s heather

A pearl in Qatar weather

Lighting nothing in the ashen morning

At home at odds with silvered-over magic

A tragic oyster at the bottom of me

All day in the shadows in the kitchen with a house elf and a book

Which Color is Your Favorite?

Which color is your favorite?
Does it give you orange?
Is it flammable like maroon?
Is it glowy that makes you hate the creatures!

Colors that make you feel fresh should be your color!
It can be bay
Since you can see it with lush!
It can give you rose to be happier

Colors are colors
Color of leafy grass
Color of sunny sun
Makes you feel the nature

Don't you want to have colors that color your life?
Look at skies color
Look at rainbow, in sky
You will see colors after rain

Colors are everywhere
Colors are around, above
Colors are in you
Pure, Dark, again you

 

About colours

Such as it was, it couldn’t continue, colourless to the core

Cadaverous, unnoticeable, un-living

Shop-window reflection of an ashen winter coat

Too short and bulky, duskily unflattering in its static weight

Until a bus came to go elsewhere, emerged in red

Burning, rose-rising, bleeding

Move to a better place closer to the rainbow

Unmoved or unmoveable without hue

Now on the red bus, moving

Into a place luminous and glowing

French burgundy stain on a white blouse

Polished toe nails inflamed with fiery hope

So what is the final tint?

Blush and blossom and glint

ACTIVITY: Cut Up

This week, club members located texts from Project Gutenberg, an archive of books that have been digitized and made available to everyone, and copied a selection from the texts. The selection was then pasted into the Cut Up Machine, a web-tool that  remixed the selection. The resulting remix was then e-mail to a different member of the club and shaped into something else. See the results below...

The Extreme Detailed

Red and Blues

The cherry-red lips.

Sweet and pulp.

Drinking wine

Tossing and gulping grapes. 

The hunger was a devil.

The  knife was kept close  to  the orange.

Fray Lorenzo was now dead.

An invisible man

Disguised in brown

With a glow of blue and black.

Lively but deadly.

Drinking words

Drink. I up it to the eyes. Nearer by smile.

Drank moments.

She herself drank time.

Darling?

Yes, him rolling gently up expecting drink.

Wonderful drink.

Everything's too tired.

Didn't sit

Wasn’t calm

She answered

Shame

Not loved

Just curiously peaceful

She sighed.

He quietly began

She said, you have lifted time tonight

Time finished.

Puzzled footsteps

Always alone

Herself alone

He took his smile when he went

She wanted it!

Someone's holding him satisfied

A coat, a lamp

She knew moments like stones

She cried, but curtains lowered

She drank to the tired chair without enjoying.

The words came from:

he helped Thomas the letter-carrier

awkward sorts jumped
to the way other hand

Thomas, elected in Twyford,
pet his out-door classics

the Doctor's eight learned
that particularly often

wild hands
proved disconcerted changes

of fellow mastership
and awkward spice

passed to the young brothers
to torment the teacher
