My Descriptive Writing

Filed under: Uncategorized — bridiem3 at 3:27 pm on Monday, March 17, 2008



The Secret Door.
There is a door.
The door is covered in Ivy leaves.
As I brush the leaves away I see that the door is
concrete.
I wonder where it leads.
As I wonder I notice there is a giant rusty padlock.
I see that the padlock is not locked up properly.
I slowly push the door open and as
I do it creaks softly.
Behind the door there is a beautiful garden.
I see golden daffodils, velvet purple pansies, blood red roses and others
that I had never seen before.
I walked through the garden stepping carefully
on the bumpy cobble stones.
I notice an apple tree.
I walk slowly over to it.
I see a cross underneath it and I walk
slowly towards it curious to find out
why it is there.
I brush back the grass that covers the writing.
It is hard to read but I notice the words
“In Loving Memory”.
There are a few flowers in vases around the cross.
I see that the flowers have died.
The cross must have been there a long time.
I notice the date 1958.
I slowly walk back across the cobblestones.
I decided that this garden could be my little secret.

The idea for your poetry was good, but you needed to use a lot more poetic language (specific description and imagery) so that the scene could be visualised by the reader. I’d like to see you working on varying your sentence starters – you have nearly every sentence beginning with I which becomes very monotonous. You needed to spend more time editing your work, rearranging the words in sentences so that there was more variety and fluency to your work.

Hello Bridie!
What wonderful description, i noticed how you told how you walked or what you did.
Good work, i agree with Mrs Crowe, you might need to work on a little more language, but other than that, great job!
I wanted to go to that place you described! :lol:
