Invisible Man I and II

Invisible Man: Original Version

Quiet, invisible man waits
Dark, silent night creeps
Large, old clock chimes.
Quiet, invisible man stands.
Big, wooden door creaks.
Night air is warm.
Invisible, quiet man walks.
Black, square payphone sits.
Invisible, quiet man stops.
Bright, little key turns.
Shiny, silver coins clang.
Brown, cloth bags bulges.
Brown bag is heavy.
Strong, invisible man grunts.
Quiet, invisible man runs.
Big, wooden door opens.
Brown, cloth bag drops
Soft, warm bed groans.
Quiet, invisible man sleeps.

Looking back, I am thankful my teacher didn’t take off points because I used several of the adjectives more than once. And recounting now after 10 years, I’ve noticed I only wrote 19 lines. Whoops… 

I edited it a bit.

Hot, yellow ball rises.

  1. Haha. Why didn't you run this by me 10 years ago? I might have caught the 19-line oops.
