LEVEL 3: CREATIVE PARAGRAPHS

I first met her on a holiday to an exotic country. The moons delicate light had just turned the world a-flame with silver when I saw her. She had a
comely
figure
which was
stem-thin
. Her
curvilinear waist
didn’t surprise me as much as the
saffron tint
to her complexion. She must be a native, I thought to myself. Her
crescent shaped eyebrows
inclined slightly as she saw me staring at her. I yelped at being caught. Her
languid eyelashes
of velvet-black blinked once slowly, as if to invite me over.

When I came closer, I noticed her
scrolled ears
and her
elegant nose
. She nuzzled me with her nose and I couldn’t believe it. It was the custom for her people, I reckoned. It was love at first light. Her luminous,
heavenly-white teeth
flashed as she pawed at me with her
film star nails
. Her hair was a glorious
tumble of star beam-gold
and her
virility-brown
eyes
set my heart a-thump. Her
oxbow lips
positively drooled with goodness. Oh! Those
sugar
candy-sweet lips
, her
elegant personality
, all mesmerized me. She may not have had a
saccharine
voice
or
retro clothes
, but what do you expect when two Labrador pups meet in a dog pound?
