WRITING OBSTACLE

Create a character who is envious of someone without using the words:

jealous, envy, wish, want, desire, or covet.

Spark

There is a spark inside me

That needs to be put out

But I can’t extenguish it


I desperately long

For the cool still body

Of those without a spark


If I do not put it out

It will turn into a fire

That consumes my very being


Oh you should see me grasping at the air

For a way to put it out

And be still like the others


But still inside me

The spark burns

And throughout me it passionately courses


I cannot deny

That The spark and its strength

Do feel nice

In a world filled with people

Who are without a spark


Yet still I glance at those I love

And pray that maybe someday

My fire will go out

And I will be calm like them
