WRITING OBSTACLE
Write a poem about the sea that does not use the words
Deep,
Blue,
Shimmering,
Cold.
Synonyms and creativity will help you find ways to convey the enormousness and beauty of the ocean without using these common descriptors.
baptism by hurricane
Howling,
Raging,
Spinning on the radar
like a rainbow pinwheel
At a pride parade;
A war-like tempest
Flanked by white hot
Swords of lightning
Surges toward the coast -
Vexated - like an oceanic Titan.
Burning saltwater
Swirls around its judgmental eye,
As its thunderous voice
Demands that we answer
For our abuse
Of this dying planet.
