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.

The Closet

In my room, what you'll find


Is a pretty painted space


Lined with all my favorite coats


Like one that’s furry, big n brown


Covering


A box of all my favorite memories in a worndown shoebox


Holding


All my deepest darkest secrets


Like a letter from my younger self,


Saying


One day we won’t be scared of telling your parents too
