a silver lining poem
forest fire by judester

Silver Lining Contest Winner

Terrain lays marred
in a forest scarred,
blackened trees still stand.

Critters are gone
silenced bird song,
since flames swept over this land.

In chilled morning rain
I stroll by again,
to find saplings push through ashy sand.

Writing Prompt
Write a poem of any type about something ugly (war, hate, cruelty) - but find the beauty (silver lining) in it.
