Writing Class Portfolio Submissions

• So, what IS this Writing Class thang? [Mar-02]
  First Portfolio
• 1: Short Poem — "Life"
  This is really, really, really bad. It's also pompous and preachy.
• 2: Sonnet — "Time Does Not Repeat"
  Fourteen lines of ten syllables each, on the subject of being really crap at communicating with loved ones.
• 3: Prose — "Power: Second (Final) Chapter"
  An exercise in subverting cliche and redundancy. Fun to write, fun to read.
• 4: Lyrics — "Punk '57-'79"
  Respect for Sid Vicious, and rather less for today's whiny imitators.
• Notes accompanying Part the First
  Background on the punk elegy and sonnet pieces. Mostly bemoaning MTV.
• 5: Free Verse — "Spooge Blare Forcibly"
  Stream-of-consciousness ranting about student stress and issues.
  Second Portfolio
• 1: Ballad — "Why I Cannot Write Ballads"
  No, seriously...although this is easily hummed whilst drunk...
• Notes accompanying Part the Second
  Covering information on all of the pieces in said submission.
• 2: Short Tale — "They do not know what I know about them."
  It's much easier to read than to describe. Oh, go on!

  Note to friend: No, she isn't based on you! (Or on anyone else, actually...)
• 4: Description — "Meditation Upon The Transience Of Being, 11:27pm"
  "Fear And Loathing In Aberystwyth" by any other name...
