Rhizome Post #1 | Creps

Go read these images at Stranger Than Wal-Mart: Images S. Katie Hill. I chose the second image as one of my favorite. It is short and doesn't have a lot of description, but I really like that because there is room for imagination and it presents many questions. The image was of a sparrow perched on a telephone wire, alone.

This post left a lot of room for me to imagine what that bird could be doing. Why was the sparrow in such a forlorn state? I figured that it could be because he was either looking for food, lost, or even 'out and about' on his own. The impact that this image had on me was onee of a lost sparrow desperately searching for a fellow winged animal. The impact was such because, being a freshman, I am lonely frequently and hide in the comfort of my own room- hopeing desperately for a friend. This post almost made me feel homesick when I thought deeply about it.

When I write, my goal is to tug and pull at heartstrings of the readers. I think it is such a talent for a person to be able to wheel the emotions of other people, and I hope that I can attain that skill. I don't want my work to be something that people find flowery and filled with an overabundance of emotion, but just the right amount so that I could cause the reader to laugh or cry. I want to share my feelings through the words I pen!
