Greetings, word lovers. How are things in your bit of the world? Are they
as gloomy and desperate and frustrating (with wild hints of awesome) as in my own bit of our planet? I hope
so. Because living a life that offers us no joy ((even tiny ones) just won’t do, not when we have
words, relationships, imagination, and defiance to throw in misery’s face.
So,
with that thought in mind, for today’s optional prompt, I invite you to write
poetry or prose that includes a silver lining, or an advantage
that comes from a difficult or unpleasant situation.
Required: Add
the direct link to your response to Mister Linky. One post per participant,
please, 369 words maximum (excluding title), for prose and for poetry.
Optional: You
may share old or new pieces of poetry or prose, and you may write to the prompt
or to a topic of your choosing.
Requested (not compulsory but strongly recommended):
Visit other poets and storytellers. Read their contributions. Share your
thoughts on their words.
for next week, Rommy will invite us to write poetry or prose about our favorite modern convenience or invention.
