Abstractions

So...yesterday in class we did this exercise called "abstractions." Which is somewhat out of my comfort zone, but I tried it. Didn't really know what I was doing, but I think I got the gist of it. Anyway...below you'll see how CRaZy these abstractions can get.

Rage>> pit-bull >> teeth >> foam >> ocean >> blue >> sky >> cloud >> rainbow >> Kermit >> Muppets >> Scooter >> Babies >> Diaper >> Powder >> White >> Clean >> spring >> Flowers >> Water >> Crystal >> Jewels

Generosity >> Money >> Greed >> Dracula >> Halloween >> Darkness >> Hell >> Satan >> God >> Heaven >> Angel >> Gate >> Fence >> Block >> Red >> Blood >> Death >> Odor >> Skunk >> Garbage >> Porn >> Exotic >> Macaw >> Green >> Kermit >> Miss Piggy >> Pink

Control >> God >> Cross >> Dying >> Blood >> Crying >> Tears >> Blue >> Sea >> Creatures >> Alien >> Green >> Lily Pad >> Flower >> spring >> Rain >> Lightning >> Scared >> Darkness >> Yellow Eyes >> Ghosts >> Haunting >> Hinges >> Doors >> Creaking >> Fright >> Horror >> Black >> Blind

Charm >> Leprechaun >> Green >> Clover >> Plant >> Soil >> Worms >> Slime >> Goo >> Sticky >> Honey >> bear >> Growl >> teeth >> white >> Clouds >> Cumulus >> Nimbus >> Science >> Biology >>> Human >> Heart >> Blood >> Red >> Puddle >> Wet >> Floor

As you can see....it gets a little nuts...but I guess this something all potential poets can work with...the power of words and what they trigger in the human brain.
