WRITING OBSTACLE
Describe your dream candy shop.
This doesn’t have to be written from the perspective of a child, but it may be fun to use the language of wonderment and glee typical of astonished children.
Like A Candy Store
Wrapped in bright candy colors
wrapped in serious browns
Bins of delight
Trail my hungry fingers
Over heavy laden shelves
My arms cradling yet to be savored treats
Like bursting with jelly beans,
red licorice rolls, candied orange peels and ginger shards
dipped in bittersweet chocolate
The smell of books
warm earth and stories
Old and new Tantalize
Battered with yellow highlights and spidery notes
Library refugees with faded red tattoos and empty pockets
Stamped dates my pulse quickens
Wedged tight a
business card pirouettes to the floor
Its job done
