WRITING OBSTACLE

Write a short story or poem about a couple’s anniversary that uses weather as a motif.

Motifs can affect a reader’s view of characters and story greatly. You could use adjectives typically used for weather to create the characters, or metaphors of weather to describe relationships and scenarios.

Catastrophic Love

Twenty years ago

I was a rain cloud floating by

Drifting aimlessly

Flooding cities with my cries

But then you came along

I heard your voice from far away

I felt your spotlight crackle

Felt my own despair decay

And when we met, I felt a spark

Your laughter shook the ground

I knew I would do anything

To recreate that sound

So here we are, both you and I

A raging storm above

I’ll circle you forever

And spread our catastrophic love
