WRITING OBSTACLE
Submitted by Maranda Quinn
Show a powerful emotion – love, grief, rage - in a quiet, everyday moment.
Instead of writing a dramatic and drawn out scene, think about how subtle actions and sensory details can carry the weight of the feeling.

Fingers SLAM—
Down on the screen.
Texts fly by
Past serious eyes.
Huff
Sigh
Legs swing
Under the kitchen
table.
Like a seesaw
Sweat drops glistening—
Down
A forehead.
Sun
Behind
The shades.
Phone in hand.
Gripping tight.
Count—
To three.
Before
Relying.
But only make
It
To one.
