WRITING OBSTACLE
Write a story using strong imagery representing the passage of time during a scene.
Here you could utilise typical time-based imagery, like ticking clocks, the changing colour of leaves etc, or you could create some interesting metatphors of your own.
Stay
Couldn’t we just stay
‘Stead of turning the tides?
Watching it fade away
Til the end of our lives?
They’re pictures, not mirrors
Couldn’t we just stay?
The mist’s growing clearer
And blurs what they say
Our ties are all frayed
With this time-driven sorrow
Couldn’t we just stay
And try again tomorrow?
The future is calling
But keep it at bay
Before we go falling
Couldn’t we just stay?
