Here is an excerpt from a poem I once wrote:
Bright light shines into
her room like crystals,
She sighs but does not
stir, her eyes flutter,
Her chest warms at the
feeling of the sun,
So brilliant and pure it
makes her sad.
A new day has come, away
with the last,
A different, strange
world that awaits her,
Her dreams cloud, a
familiar face shows,
Body tensed and ready,
her body is afraid.
For this example, I had a woman laying in bed on a sunny morning feeling scared but relieved that time is still passing and she hasn't frozen in the middle of nowhere. She had flaming red hair in tight curls and wore a white and lace nightgown as she woke up underneath cream sheets in a king size bed. The quilt was red with gold stitching and the bed had a giant frame - something like what the Queen would sleep in.
I feel images are really important for aspiring authors because it gives us more of a chance to write down every necessary detail and some that maybe aren't so important to the description! That is what makes your readers laugh and enjoy the text more. Good luck!
That's a really good point to consider, thanks for sharing. :)
