Challenge of the Week
Alright, you brilliant beasts. To kick off the first $25 Weekly Challenge, we're keeping it easy and exact. Suuuure..... Most of us have been in this spot, asked the question, so we'll frame a setting. Here goes. You're on a first date with a person you met online. There's attraction there, but you're still trying to figure out if the chemistry is physical AND mental. The person across the table asks you what kind of writing you do, and when you give them a genre, they say, in one way or another, "Describe your writing to me." This week's challenge is to answer that question here. The winner will be decided by likes on this one.

growing pains personified

"well-" i hesitate

he look at me curiously

"it's a little weird"

i look at my phone furiously

as it vibrates again

"don't be angry"

he says gently

"poetry" I blurt out

but it pulls him in eventually

"angry but beautiful"

I describe with delight

"morbid but real"

the words set his face alight

"inspired, but original"

it's getting good now

"growing pains personified'

he asks me how

"my anger and my sadness

all of it at once"

he smiles at me

and asks me to read one
