Stranger Things
I was recently at a retreat for creative types. The theme was ‘resurrected friendship’ and in my writing workshop we were challenged to write a poem using a dozen prompt words. The idea was to write without thinking too hard. Here's the poem I wrote
Stranger things have happened
Than the betrayal of one friend by another
We become islands of pain, tended by thoughts of violence and a lack of trust
A fracture appears in our carefully crafted stories
Our occupation with resentment begins to weaken
The folds of our love start to open
And wildflowers begin their growth towards the sun
They explore the gap, creating a bridge for healing
