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.
