WRITING OBSTACLE

Submitted by Bernard Wicks

Write a poem or story that reads as if it is beautiful, but is actually about something rather tragic.

For example, you might write about a beautiful sunset in an apocalyptic world, or a poem about the good things about heartbreak.

Reincarnation

Morning dew against cold lips

Sparkle like tinted blue frost

A little bird watches, but can’t understand

How time passes—so still.

Soft-etched paths echo with silence,

A secret clearing—a special place.

Slowly passing clouds above

Cast shadows vacant—hollow.

Gold sun spreads luster on snow-white skin,

The forest watches over,

For a new life to begin.
