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.
Your Birthday Is Spring
The feeling of the cool sun stings on your face whenever spring comes. It arrives quietly, a secret only nature knows will come.
Spring brought our romance quietly, none of us knew it were to bloom. Never thinking it was possible due to all the storm of snow falling on the ground, unable for me to get to you.
You knew your way around the frost to get to me, possibly in accident.
Even if it were, we’re grateful for all moments happened in spring. Spring made us learn how to live again, after the flurries of cold weather.
Summer came along, melting all of the innocence spring had to offer. Ruining the magic of being together after the cold storm, of finally being able to live happier together.
Pressure of living in hotter weather where we could barely breath in. Stress of living in a place where we used to be happy but changed into harsh sunburns and distance
Where my sweat became into tears from losing you in the weather. It’s cruel how short our time was, as if it shouldn’t ache this much.
you’re the spring my summer destroyed,
