Silver Lining writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt Write a poem of any type about something ugly (war, hate, cruelty) - but find the beauty (silver lining) in it. |
Thanks to VMarguarite for the perfect illustration. This is a true story. Our vegetable farm in Tanzania was over run by the squatters one morning. I had planted rows of special trees to prevent erosion. The squatters cut the tops off with machetes.
When I looked in the reference book for these trees, it said to cut the tops off after a couple years. These stupid rogues with destruction on their mind, had saved me a couple days work... and provided a laugh in the midst of chaos. Silver lining indeed.
