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.
The Book
Its cover creaking open
Tempting me to look
I glanced across the room and saw
A rather ancient book
Its pages old and brittle
Its cover cracked and worn
The writing fading off its pages
Its spine was split and torn
I slowly crossed the room
And bent down just to see
I asked the book its secrets
And it began to talk to me
It told me of long lost times
And of their Queens and Kings
It showed me ancient lands
Upon its paper wings
