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.
A New Way To Recognize The Wind
A new way to recognize the wind
As the sails fill and the leafs fall
The crunch on your ears
Defeats the salty blue
The howl calls you
The simple rhyming melody etched
In echo bellowed caves
Stalagtites dripping liquid sweat
Dropping
Saying we were here
And we harbored anger, rage, and grief
Do not park here if the sails sing different
Recognize what we are wailing
And continue sailing
**_The grayscale pantomime is not why
The colors bounce off the artists
Page
The marks on your face
Say your story for you
Ear plugs do not stop
The sound of the windy
Existence
_****_Set sail, and set sailing _**
