These last few days have been heartbreaking. A horrendous airplane collision - and people suffering from the impact of hurricanes, blizzards, and fires. Our collective sorrow has been overwhelming. My prayers go out to each person who carries the burden of hopelessness. I cry with you.
Interested writers are invited to participate by creating a poem with these directives:
- Theme: contrast between light and darkness
- Form: each line must begin with the phrase "In the shadow of..."
- Length: exactly 7 lines
- Tone: a narrative that transitions or oscillates between obscurity and clarity
This poetic form was a first for me. But with all that is happening in our beautiful world, the words came easily.
