WRITING OBSTACLE

Write a 100-word description of a newborn animal, without using the words:

Small

Soft

Young

Broken and confused

A frail body

Oggling at the world

Missing the warmth

Of the motherly womb


Scared of the new

Wishing to crawl back inside

Somewhere safe

Their home


Uttering a feeble sound

Unsure of how it came out

Longing for answers

Too questions they can’t yet ask


Wobbling legs

A limp shaking body

Wishing for relief

For everyone seems to be in awe


Its all feels so new

So sharp

Senses attacked

Stark contrast to their previous abode


Are we as humans

but glorified newborn animals

Forced into an environment

We do not long for?


Aren’t we both _broken_ and _confused_?
