Writing Exercise: Imagery




We see brown, white, and tan hands in various sizes
all reaching out for something to eat;
dwarfing the confused woman,
who accepts their  shiny silver coins.

Then she opens a cabinet filled with multi-colored
Bottles and packets in different shapes and flavors.
And there’s the angry mob roaring for attention,
While their stomachs growl in hunger.

After being served, they scramble to get out –
satisfied like a group of sleepy dragons,
leaving the woman
back in her peaceful, solitary world.
