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.
Tigress
The dust lingers fire
Fiber
Settles, trickles on your finger tips
Lock the limber limps of will o wisps
In limply lumbered limericks
Piano tiles and old timey tricks
Tips of swords and sucking ticks
The bloody knuckles of a
Shaking fisted, two spirited ventriloquist
The play and tale
The broken mask of the impressionist
Running sand to feel echoes of a chamber
Fiberglass prods the iris
Of a heart, descendent visitor from heaven
form heaven, Holy tigress
The shape of your chest is a cavern
Or the impress
Off a wholly sequined universe
That looks at you, impressed
Running sands of deserts
Won’t you tell us why we rain
Hit myself and ran down the
Neurons of my brain
The vision is our hand
Making love out of the same
Universe and running sands
That relinquish so much pain
**_
Deliver us, ourselves
The might that we are
The mites that we feel we are _**
