What are your expectations for Creative writing?

If you had to create a new word, what would it be?

Create a new word in English!

What would I like to see?

1. A definition (een betekenis)

2. How do we use this word in a sentence? 

Example:  Cebbuce 

Meaning: It is molten cheese with salad.

Sentence: I am ordering a cebbuce at the new Italian restaurant.

Time to present!

Now that we have seen all the new words, which one should we add into a dictionary and why?😎

The hidden glosa

You all must be wondering......

Well mister Hulst, what is that?

The hidden glosa

A Spanish poem form of in which you are using four lines from an existing poem and alter your own flair into it.

Today we woke up to a revolution of snow,

its white flag waving over everything,

the landscape vanished,

not a single mouse to punctuate the blankness,

and beyond these windows

 now I am listening hard

Written by Billy Collin

Today we woke up to a revolution of snow,
A blue sky over the horizon 

Waiting for my arrival

There is a white flag waving over everything,

Reaching for my grasp 
and gives a warmly welcome 

the landscape vanished, 

through a thick smoke of dark clouds
not even my thoughts could doubt
Something strange is about to happen  

not a single mouse to punctuate the blankness,

Getting all crowded into the audience
and beyond these windows

It is my time to shine

 A new journey which I would like to start
And now I am listening hard
To my teacher who is screaming

out loud 

 

Example

Let's do this together (hidden glosa)

Open your heart to happiness.
 

Let every pore absorb light.
 

Cast off the darkness of night.

Walk in the summer of sunshine.

Fly in the blueness of sky.
