Writing Practice

Since we have been talking about Word Choice and what it brings to mind I thought I'd do a brainstorm like the one in class...


BLACK
Things that creep normally come out in the black of night. Witches wear black and so do evil demons. Black makes you look thinner and is more "sexy". Black sucks in all colors. Black is greedy. It is selfish. It takes and doesn't give. It's always there in the corners or closets, waiting to take completely over. It is a decayed tooth, or a charred finger. It is Long flowing hair which sways with the girl. It is a tangled mess of web from a widow. It is a largely dominant color. It is the thick vapors that covered the earth at Christs death, and it is the shirt I am wearing now.
