Children's writing: Moon - by Anniyah

31.01.23



Oh my goodness, Anniyah - this writing is full of emotion and intrigue. I want to know more. I want to know who he is and why this woman is in hospital. How are they related? You have used a great technique here of drip-feeding information to the reader to keep their interest, and mine certainly is! I also love the idea that the woman can only see the moon if she looks at the right time - this adds a layer of sadness (maybe even pathos) to this story. I also love your beautiful choices of adjectives:

 

nacreous moon

bleached-white snow

ash-grey camera

wan skies

 

Thank you so much for sharing.

 

Let's read...

 

Moon 

There was a cold shivery breeze, yet he stood there to watch the nacreous moon. Bleached-white snow filled the whole city, which he had a clear view of. He took his ash-grey camera out and started recording the wine-purple (mixed with a bit of grey and blue) moon and the wan skies.

Daisy-white snow was gently falling down as he propped his camera up and started recording. He filmed for hours, for she would be so happy to see the video, though she couldn’t see them in real life. She would catch a wee glimpse through the hospital window, but that was only if she looked at the right time. 

He was freezing and wanted to go home, but he knew he had to do this, for her.
