It's writing, my thoughts since I saw the prompt".<BR/><BR/>Let's just call it a prose-poem and say that it's evocative, provocative, and beautifully written.

The damage we are doing to the planet, the damage we are doing to ourselves. Such profound commentary interspersed with the most beautiful imagery. So many lines made an impact on me but my two favourites are : 'A cerulean butterfly edged in gold' and 'She's beautiful and option-less.' Oh, yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about. Excellent piece.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
