10R Descriptive Writing

Our students' writing goal the last few weeks was to use a thesaurus to find contextual descriptors that take their writing to the next level. By carefully choosing vivid and powerful words, they aimed to make their writing over the top and extremely descriptive—capturing the scene with clarity and creativity. Ms Brittenden

Myriad fushia petals claim the ground, while tall trees convex along the boundless path of overgrown mystery. I can hear the euphonic sound of birds above and the berceuse sounds in the wind. Glimpsing upwards, I observed wonders of the sanctuary, seeing a dome of natural architectural design, a security blanket between me and the real world.

Meticulously, I stroll through the refreshing passage filled with an eruption of greenery and beguiling scents fill the air, as my feet sink deeper into the soft glamorous petals. Captivating beauty encases me, while light seeps through the gaps in the trees, illuminating the pulchritudinous pink carpet, making me feel as if I am in a dream.

Dazzling lavender flowers falling down from the sky as I walked on the magnificent graceful leaves. I softly ran my hands elegantly through the silky periwinkle petals. Fresh chocolate branches stretch over with their emerald delicate hands. Crispy, fragile sounds echoed beneath my steps as I walked across their brittle edges breaking like whispered secrets beneath my weight.

Tranquil silence greets me as I stroll down the passage. Plum petals lie as a blanket across the boundless trail, quilting under the weight of my feet. Extravagantly dense, lush greenery envelopes me in a tunnel of spellbinding colours and smells.

An entrancing, dense archway stuns me as I wander across the everlasting blanket of vibrant periwinkle petals that smooth the ground.. Warm beams of sunlight glisten through the treetops and shimmer against my joyful face.

Interminable ethereal violaceous petals smother the ground. Nervously, I glance upwards at the spindled green canopy. Splendorous, vibrant flowers grew along the passage. Tentatively, I step onwards in amazement. The strong sound of my footsteps breaks the incoherent noise. 

Gaining confidence, I hasten, the imposing pathway that seems unceasing. An ambrosial scent of transcendent flowers overwhelms me.

Laboriously, my foot cushions on the eminence lane. Footprint trails behind me, leaving a sign of my existence. Glancing up, I take note of the curvaceous cal poly pomona green arched canopy before me. As I stand amazed by the spellbinding scene, unease flows down my spine. A robust force pummels the back of my head.

All my senses are numb. My body collapses on the final path, a mellow embrace. My eyelids are heavy,  the world is spinning, and darkness engulfs me.
