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.

We stand among the ocean’s sweat
A hair’s breadth from the cigarettes
The music swings and dips again
An endless song begins within.
Who could you be, if you really tried?
If breathless dreams bequeathed a sigh?
In solemn, steady lyrics lie
Coded quietude amplified.
Nevermore will sweet winds blow
Strangers and teardrops scream below
A fantastic neon stretch above
The sagging, sobbing death of love.
Sharpened strings go with the grain
Pulling toward the depths of pain
Silver ring and patterned rose
To the world’s embrace, he drunkened goes.
