STORY STARTER
Create a scene about the scenario that causes your main character to cry for the first time during adulthood.
Remember their tears don't have to be from sadness.
The day I turned 18
The day I turned 18, sweet sunny, summer day!
Was I by forest’s edge, kept saying I’m okay,
That day, from all of days, wasn’t supposed to cry!
That day, unlike the others, wasn’t about goodbyes!
I wanted, one more time, first time in adulthood,
To hug a special oak tree, my friend so strong and good,
To tell him that I’m sorry I didn’t come to see
The forest, I was busy to grow and simply be…
Too many storms have kept us apart for all these years,
But now I am an adult and I will face my fears!
I wanted him to know that I remember all,
How tight I used to hold him when my life seemed to fall
That I survived my childhood so I’ll grow old to be
Much stronger than the ones who should be strong for me…
The day I turned 18, sweet, sunny summer day,
Was I by forest’s edge, and nothing was okay
For my beloved oak tree was cut, and so my soul
An empty place remained, instead of heart - a hole…
Love then became a lie and justice - a satire!
First time, in adulthood, I cried with tears of fire.
This is so beautiful ❤️ captures the importance of time
this is genuinely amazing!! my favorite one from this prompt :)
This felt very genuine. You don’t see that a lot anymore. Great job!
The imagery is great. The meter falters in a place or two, but it does not detract from the overall beauty.
I love it so much, you did it wonderfully, you deserve all love and support! And for all times sadness was your main emotion may all the others positive ones be around you 🤍
