WRITING OBSTACLE
Write a love letter to something in nature.
Affection directed towards nature is a frequent theme in poetry, so now try making it much more literal! The letter doesn't have to be written as a poem, but you could use poetic devices to make it feel more romantic.
Dry Land
Blue lake, deep as my sadness,
You know my promise,
my best kept secret,
my soul…
Dark lake, still as my prayers,
the ones I only whisper
when lights are slowly drowning
into you…
White light, where can I find him?
It’s cold and dry the land
beneath it…
It’s lonely like my heart
that misses the waters..
My blue lake - just a remembrance
of love that seems forever
but dies under the cruel sun…
And if a million eyes
would cry a thousand rivers,
would you rise up again?
To feed our hungry hearts
with reasons to love…
against all odds
I’ll turn my pain
into poetry.
