My Unmarked, Unclaimed Territory

Hey guys! I'm back! Did you miss me? I'm sure you did! Anyways, I'm taking Creative Writing I this semester, and we read this poem called 'Unclaimed Territory' by Louisa DeBoo and my teacher asked us to write a poem based on her style, (which is about how hard the writing process can be) so I want to share it with you guys!
*Please keep in mind that this IS a ROUGH draft, so I haven't edited it yet. I'll do that in another post*

'My Unmarked, Unclaimed Territory'

The blank paper stares at me
I have no thoughts
The paper mocks me
Challenging my thoughts and intelligence


For I have nothing to write

Searching high and low
I'm seeking for inspiration
Words fading,
memories becoming so distant,
feelings and emotions leaving
where they hid and flee from me
Trying to reach them
They flee once again

My pen leaves. Going unused.

The blank paper stares at me
For I couldn't write
Mocking and laughing
The paper won.

Ok, please give me your feedback on what you liked about it, what you didn't like about it, and if there is anything that could be done to the poem to make it sound better. Thanks guys!

My Extremely Long Vacation (Not Really)

Hey guys,
LOL, I just realized that the last time I made a blog post was on Dec 4, which was over 2 months ago. I apologize because I had a lot going on between Christmas vacation and now. My cousins and their parents (aunt and uncle) came to visit us for Christmas and I was extremely happy to see them because that was my first time ever meeting them. It was such a blast and we had so much; we went to Disney World and took a little "road trip" while they were here. Christmas was amazing because I got to spend it with my wonderful family, but the only downside was that I was sick on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and the rest of the week until my birthday. It sucked, but other than that, I can't complain.

  So how are you guys and how was your Christmas vacation? I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year, because I did. AHHH I just realized that today is the first of February! Happy First Day of February! Hehehehe! That means Valentine's Day will be here soon and winter will be almost over! I'm tired of the cold weather and can't wait to break out the gladiators, capris, tanks, and skirts and everything summer related.


I really don't know what else to say. I have no thoughts right now and I had some earlier and they disappeared!

Oh well!

Tell people to follow me and shoutout to Grace (I forgot what your blog name was) for following me! I really appreciate it :)

Ciao!

Chrissy :) xoxo
