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.

I love you so much, that my tired heart hurt
The fresh red roses, you gave me is in the dirt
The other woman, who interrupts our happy life
She is after you, and wants to now become your wife
It makes me so mad, when she stops by the front gate
If there is anything going on, it is you two that I do hate
My silent tears are falling, onto those now dead flowers
I thought that my loving heart, had invisible happy powers
