WRITING OBSTACLE
Without directly saying what it is, write about a time you experienced something distinctly beautiful.
It could be a person, a place, or an experience, but whatever it is, the reader should be able to understand what it is without being told.

Your eyes
Becoming me
All that I see
Drowning beneath
The waves
Of green
All that I am
Has it been found again
Sit down
To take the load off
Pressure
Pushing
From every side
Now we slide in and out
Of feelings
Stay still
Let go
Send me a message
So I can be sure
Of where we stand
Because without you
I will turn this whole world to sand
You’re like a spring
In the middle of the desert
Y...
When I was little I looked at my reflection in a puddle
I was to little to notice any imperfections
I giggled and jumped into the puddle without a worry
I grew up a little more and it was my first day of school
My mom holds my hand as I walk in
A little older and I see a boy. He’s cute
A little older
I cry because i don’t have friends
But I don’t understand why
A little older

Aching legs
Marching feet
Stairs after stairs
Up to the unknown
Sweat piling
Out of breath
Stairs after stairs
Neverending
But then,
I’m out of breath
for a entirely different
reason
I can see the city
the entire world
From just this
one point
The mountains hug the city
The gentle setting sun
Casts an orange hue
over the land
What used to look
so intimidating
so imposing
so tall
now looked li...
Red and green and
Snowy white
Flakes of heaven
In the night
Layers of snow
On the street
Little pink nose and
Little cold feet
Presents sitting
Under the tree
Some for you and
Some for me
Hot cocoa and
Candy canes
Laughing dolls and
Choo choo trains
Little grubby hands
And smiles
Elves on shelves
For the child
Winter boots and
Mistletoe
Making angels
In the snow
Secret Santa
Exchangin...
The puffy white clouds are pierced by the tower. It's surrounded by the garden, full of great trees, prickly grass, and a path that pierces through the green. In the trees, the creatures hide, trying to stay out of your sight.
This place seems unreal like it was pulled right out of a book. It feels like you've entered a new world. The forest rises so high, it feels like your trapped in its maw.

sinking sunlight glittered off the water. i stared at the orange and blue as they washed together. my mind was blank, and i wouldn’t realize until after. i watched my feet dangle above the water, as my eyes drifted in and out of focus. the breeze blew my hair and i leaned back on my hands. i was so thankful to be here, i had waited so long for this. there was an aura of orange in the sky, fading i...
We are awful short sighted creatures. We have a habitual aversion to what is inevitable. Happiness, for example, is not sustainable or constant. Sometimes we aren’t even aware we are experiencing it because people never know what they got till it’s gone. We avoid sadness, shame, dread, and all things we decide are unwanted.
We fail to descend that desire is the source of all suffering even when a...
The fur that covered each part of the paw gave me great joy. I had to touch and feel the softness only to be met with that paw hitting the top of my hand lightly, warning me not to touch. I could not help squealing with joy. My heart, body, and soul felt such euphoria from seeing this sight. I decided to rub on the gentle fur. Such warmth on the palm of my hand. It felt therapeutic to me. There wa...
The rushing blanket of dark blue water became a bubbling mass of foamy white as it fell furiously down the cliff. I could only stare speechless at the heavenly landscape, the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. If I got too close, the mists would soak my clothes and hair. The sound was deafening but I didn’t mind, I loved it actually, it was a natural sound and, for all the time I was there, it m...
