"Sunshine after the Rain"

Watercolor by Steve Hanks-Sunshine after the Rain

One more prompt, because I still have points. . .

Let's make this a one week contest. 100 words max, but if it's good, go for as long as you want. Sensual is fine, as long as it FITS the prompt. Give me something as sweet and poignant as this watercolor. that's it. I'm all out of points now, aren't you glad? LOL

I do not want sad, morbid entries for this contest.

Give me hope once again. . .

I know there are some

phenomenal poets/esses here, come on, what are you waiting for?

Go!

Love,

jin

Final notes:
This contest garnered some wonderfully different writes.
I'm too tired from being sick to go through much of an explanation as to why I picked who I did.
If you want to know why I chose who I chose, go read the poems yourself

Thanks folks,
Wonderful entries,
Love,
jin

The storm was all consuming within my book of rage

(add an olive) J/K...I did some serious tweeking to make this piece what it is, sadly I do not have the original and I do feel that this is much better for the work I put into it. I did what you suggested. Hopefully it payed off. Thanks for your wonderful comment. Mandie
