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.

Condensation

Air escapes my weakened lungs, oxygen back to dioxide,

no matter how much I fight it—

I know there isn’t much life left.

Not enough blood pumping, travelling, facilitating.

Lump in my throat, a dry patch left on my tongue,


The clouds take over my brain, revealing this foggy landscape.

My body feels heavy

My body begins to be a burden

This body once called mine

is nothing more than flesh—

Flesh is not mine, flesh is just dust


A lonely rain drop travels down off my eye—

A thunder manifesting underneath my breath

Fingers twitching, flesh tense,

rain began frantically hitting my skin—

ever since her eyes met my murky gaze.
