WRITERS" BLOCK #23

  HEARTS   The sky is bleak, clouds black the sky Turning ashen grey with each lightning flash     Winter has turned  trees into ghastly images, shadows of themselves a mockery of what they once were.   Dead leaves Dead grass even the wind moans dead and cold     Even the house seems white, cold and lifeless as lightning tears the air apart     Sounding hollow sounding empty echos, empty echos     But in one room one small room lovers only hear   The sound of rain and gusty winds mixed with thunder far off.   Nature's music     keeping pace with their hearts beating in unison beating in time     With arms entwined and hearts as one lovers listening to one another breathe.     RULES FOR WRITERS' BLOCK at the very bottom left in blue is The Rules, that is a link back to the Writers' Block page.  Thank you.     1. Every Sunday, a new challenge will be posted. One picture will be featured per challenge; your part is to write about that picture. It can be whatever moves you; a poem, story, caption or a quote. Original works only, please. You may also post a video or song that you feel is relevant.

2. You may alter the pic, as long as you can still see the original clearly.

3. Post your challenge response on your blog, tag it with “writers_block” or something to that effect, along with whatever other tags you use.

4. Come back to Writer’s Block and leave a comment that you are participating, so I know to look for it.

5. I ask that you visit at least a few other writers and leave your comments.. In order to make this easier, please make sure your challenge piece is open to all or at least in a medium network.

6. Sometimes part of the challenge will be to include a quote, so please make sure to look under the picture to see if that is so.

7. You have until the following Saturday night (1 week) to post your challenge response and have it linked with the others. If you are late, you can put the link in the comment section.The Rules
