Hi everyone, here's the humble beginnings of the Otago Writing Society Blog. I hope you've all been writing! Please post any of your writing, and comment on other writing as well!
Here's a piece of writing I've done on the theme from a couple of weeks ago (something you've never thought about before), it's a dramatic take on vuvuzelas, the instruments used by the crowds at the Soccer World Cup that basically sound like angry swarms of bees.
Vuvuzela Lessons
Use those lungs you used to cheer with
back home where the games stop the rain.
Instead play our cacpohony,
drowning out the cries of elephants outside.
Point the poor man's trombone to the sky,
block your ears
and make the crazy continent a little more wild.
More fun than war-horns for war-torn nations,
there's dancing in the streets
and drum-beats
to ward off angry ghosts
and bring you, the rest of the world, to the party.
