WRITING OBSTACLE
You are a child who has lost their favourite toy on a day out, and bedtime is quickly approaching. Describe how this makes you feel.
Consider your language choice carefully here, and the age of the child. How do they display their emotions?
Day & Night
Seven am stumbles down the stairs
hurrying for the stop and go of the morning commute
meeting dirty coffee mugs jostle protein shakes
Bleary-eyed congealed grease frying pan
discarded sneakers and every cabinet left open
telling tales of midnight breakfasts and teen romance
talking half the night away
talking until you fall asleep
a moment ago you dreamt in my arms
the weight of your head on my shoulder
moist heat of your cheek cradled against my neck
loose limbed sway
sleep tight grip on your teddy bear
loose limbed sway everything falls away
carefully steps up to bedtime
