Writing Exercise in Second Person
by Miss Mae
Monday, July 14th, 2008I don’t believe second person is called for in most writing articles today. But here’s one I wrote for a writing class…
WHIM OF THE WIND
You arrive as the sun yawns over the horizon. You glide slowly, almost hesitantly to the ground, skimming the top of the silent pool, careful to disturb not a ripple. You moan with dismay as you swirl over the victims of last night’s rampage. You didn’t flatten the grasses to lifeless straw; the icy-hearted hailstones murdered them. You didn’t scorch the mighty oak to a charred stump; the crackling lightning sizzled it. You didn’t smash the anthill and flood its tunnels; the pelting rain drowned it.
