Creative Writing; Thursday, Third Period [ 06/02 ].
"Ah, my little creative ducklings ♥," Shunsui said with a happy sort of sigh as everyone got settled and the drinks were passed around their usual little circle, "we have started out with so many things about writing: the fiction, the burning questions, the characters ♥! But now let us turn our attentions to beginnings ♥. Every story has a beginning; everything starts somewhere ♥. It could be in a single action, a statement, or something as small as a cherry blossom blooming on a tree outside of a window ♥. In ancient times, when poets would seek a beginning to their stories, they would implore the Muses for guidance ♥. Muses, beautiful goddesses to strike inspiration into the hearts of the men and women who wanted to create stories to entertain, to delight, to teach ♥!
"Sing, O Muse!, they'd call, guide me in my quest to reveal the truth in song, in poetry, in literary art ♥! O great Goddess, shower me with your enlightenment so that I may tell this tale, as truthfully as I may ♥. O sweet Knowledge, give me the words to paint a picture to forever endure in the minds of all who hear them ♥! O Muse, so on, so forth, etc, etc, etc....♥
"Now, whether or not you believe in the power of muses in the form of goddesses, or perhaps just muses in the form of the beauty that surrounds us every day, there is no denying that a call to them can make for beautiful poetry ♥. It, in itself, may inspire you to continue on with the story ♥. So today, let us call to the Muses ♥! Let us ask for their assistance and see what may come up ♥. I am passing around a page with a few popular examples from literature to give you an idea, and then I would like you each to compose your own invocation to the Muses ♥. Continue on with an epic poem to satisfy them, and, of course, feel free to help each other out and share ♥.
"O beautiful Muse, please spark a thought in these children's minds should they have any questions before we begin ♥!"

Stan didn't understand the topic. Maybe.
