The Wardrobe and the Cardigan (a poem) | WORD BIRD
https://deborahriccio.wordpress.com/2014/07/31/the-wardrobe-and-the-cardigan-a-poem
The Wardrobe and the Cardigan (a poem). July 31, 2014. This came to me when I opened up my wardrobe this morning and …. well, it speaks for itself (not the wardrobe. Well, okay, it speaks in the poem… oh… well, you know what I mean) 🙂. And if it counts as Plagiarism then can somebody please tell me and I’ll erase it forever. If it doesn’t then, thanks to Lewis Carroll for writing such an eternally memorable poem. The Wardrobe and the Cardigan. The time has come,’ the wardrobe said,. But can’t it wait?

My life with OCA. Project 5 – Reading between the lines. Project 5 – page 85 -exercise two characters who know each other well. Think of a conflict/problem between them. 1a a married couple who cannot have children. 1b two friends who are in love with the same person. Put them in a situation with a third person they don’t know. 1c perhaps a supermarket checkout assistant. 1d perhaps a car salesman. Write the dialogue in such a way that the conflict is never mentioned, but the reader can work it out.

My life with OCA. I have been given an exercise to do where I had to use a given sentence ‘I secured the last available space’. I decided to make it present tense and an image of the London Tube came immediately to mind. I wonder what you would have written about?

My life with OCA. While studying with the OU there was a particular poem I read when learning about ‘the senses’. It has stayed with me ever since and I treasure it. I have read nothing since that has affected all my senses in the same way that this poem did. It reminded me of my childhood in parts and it opened the door to:-. Sounds that you can hear. Textures that you can feel. Odours that you can smell. Flavours that you can taste. Objects that you can see. Enjoy this poem by Shamus Heaney. Invaded th...

My life with OCA. Just doing the Fantasy Assignment for Writing for Children module with the OCA and it’s so nice to revisit fairytales and myths etc. I have found it quite hard to write a story of my own invention in this genre but fascinating all the same. Trying to think of appropriate character names, places. What my fantasy creatures look like. What sort of a world they live in. Getting ready to meet someone you really fancy for the first time. May 14, 2016. Posted in ASSIGNMENT 5. On Revision and R...

My life with OCA. Why he’d never been in touch for all his twenty-five years? Rob lifted his chin up and steeled himself. Clenching his fists by his side he pushed the door open with his shoulder and marched into the familiar bar. The man was sitting by the window. His future, older face smiled back at him. It shocked him. Took the wind out of his sails. He turned his back and faced the bar. A pint please Jack.’ His voice was high. Sure, Rob. You ok? Jack spoke to Rob but looked at the man by the window.
