WRITING OBSTACLE

Submitted by lanie

Write a story, poem, or paragraph, personifying a creaky floorboard in an old house.

Remember this doesn't mean you have to write from its perspective, but give it human characteristics.

Creaky Floorboard.

It’s just not quite right,

No one can tell why,

It’s just… off.


It gets walked over, day after day,

And it never ceases to cry out,

Yet, most get used to it.


They tune it out,

Ignoring the plea,

It just wants to be put right.


They don’t listen,

Claiming they will help,

When convenient for them.


It just wants to be better,

Begs for a break,

Holding the weight of the footsteps,


Walking all over them everyday.
