Challenge of the Week LXXXVII
Descriptive Writing. One of the four foundational elements of the written word. You can write about anything you want, poetry or Prose; but make sure to focus on your descriptions. Whether you're describing a character, a setting, or an emotion, we want the imagery to leap out of the page. But tread lightly - there is such a thing as too much description. We're looking for that perfect balance. Imagery that sings, but doesn't scream.

Unbowed
There is a place I know,
Where the sun is gentle and cool,
Where clouds are placed like a package bow,
Where the mirror is a reflective pool;
In this place, I feel at peace,
Maybe because of the pine,
Or maybe the lack of geese,
All I know is that on picnics we dine;
This place is safe, as you are there,
A comforting presence, a solid hand,
We sit together, and you brush my hair,
Rocking in a boat, an island far from land;
In this eternal place,
Never changing mountains pierce the cloud,
Gently, gently, I caress your face,
You and me, together, unbowed.
