First off, if you ever decide to have some sort of meeting group for anything, I’m not sure if Barnes and Noble is the ideal destination. At this point, everyone knows about its legendary atmosphere, but it’s now saturated and the Smocks succumbed to sitting in the middle of the religion aisle, sans a table. We need a new venue, but that’s another post.
This week had us read our pieces on infidelity. Jeff read his poem of the same title, which was again excellent, filled with great uses of similes and metaphors. Poetry is definitely his strong suit, but the Smock panel encouraged him to try to thematically use one metaphor, to keep the reader guessing as to what the subject matter really was. I’m sure will see that challenge come to fruition in the coming weeks.
I read a short story that I’ll probably post on my blog, and Erica had a great piece on how she is but a temporary fixture in men’s live, entitled “Ketchup.” (Please post that piece Erica!)
Theirry’s big news is that he got well into fleshing out the character of his comic book who has the superpowers of super-human strength and flight but is dependent on his belief of himself. Post on that coming up this week. And our theme for our individual piece for next week is on regret.
Until tomorrow!
Ralph
