My assignment in writing today was "Describing a Circus Performer". Here's my paper.
The Juggler
Quiet and concentrated,
the tall fire juggler is the bravest
of the brave. His dark eyebrows
furrow with concentration as he
throws the fiery sticks into the
air. The slender juggler's scarred
hands open to the sky as he prepares
to catch. His multicolored shoes do a
tap dance as the wind blows them
off course. As the juggler catches
the sticks, the ringmaster loudly
announces the next act.

Yes! I like it!
ReplyDeleteThere's a UNC student who juggles in his front yard, which is on a road I often take. I nearly run off the road every time I see him because it's such an interesting sight.
I like that paragraph. You made it seem like time stopped for a minute so I could picture everything.
ReplyDeleteIt reminded me of Tomie dePaola's book, CLOWN OF GOD.
