Entry for the 'Blank Page' project publication.

"The Blank Page project forms part of the second year Contextual and Critical Studies program at Gray's School of Art, where academic writing is part of the normal curriculum for art and design students. The project aims to challenge writing further and broaden it's potential as an experience and practice within a contemporary art and design degree." 

Here is my outcome which was printed in the publication, july 2009. My chosen outcome for part of the creative writing process was poetry.

The Intruder

I see you, I see you

I... SEE... YOU!

You snuck inside and picked your corner

You hid in pockets of shadows and dust

But intentions thrust and I'm no fool

I see you!

So now confronted, we stand alone

Who will be the first to move?

Your monstrous power has me overcome

Your alien nature, your random groove,

My blood, hot acid pumps lightening veins

And deafening silence, screams "RUN" in my ears

Slug like feet stuck to the ground

My legs older than their years

You've been found, time is due,

I feel you!

Your appalling intrusion has sparked fury and need

This nightmare must end, your shadow un-cast

Your black wired stature reminds me your fast

My morality forefront, you desire my bleed

Your need, my need, "I'll get you"

You say, I say

"I'll get you"

Like a cat on the hunt, I move slow, I move low

My eyes wide, I don't breathe. I will beat you, you know!

You disgust me with fright, how dare you come here,

Will you run? will you jump? or will you just stand and sneer?

My one ton limbs of syrup and slime

Slide slow, slide back as I reach for the glass

Your prison awaits you, admit your defeat

As I slam solid barrier around delicate feet.

YOUR BEAT!

My glory, my triumph, I gloat from afar,

Just incase the beast can sneak under the jar

I see you, your beauty, your tickle I feel,

I pity your scream, "let me out, break the seal"

But I got you surrounded, once so big, now so small,

I beat you arachnid, pack your webs, hit the hall.
