SOLSC: Captured - 14/31

The Slice of Life Story Challenge 
is hosted by the Two Writing Teachers.

Captured

A slice
     a memory
          a recollection
A story
     a snapshot
          a remembrance
            
A moment in time.  All patiently waiting.
Waiting to be captured.  Captured with words --
Precise, perfect, picture-painting words.

    I really liked the use of alliteration. Can I share with my class so they can hear it?

    I think your words said it all - precise, perfect, picture-painting words. Very nice!

    Oooh, love the alliteration. I like the way you have the lines like staggered too.

    BEAUTIFUL! I love this especially your last line. I have been trying to get my students to slice with precision and about one aspect of their life. Thanks for sharing!

    I loved how you continued to refine and add more depth to the definition.

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing!
