In a story I came across recently, a contest was held for artists, and the subject they were asked to paint was “Peace”. All the artists, except one, painted lovely serene paintings of scenes depicting what we would all agree exemplified the word peace. The one, however, painted a picture of a violent storm accosting a black cliff. The judges were confused.

I took the comment to his piece and tweaked it a bit, and the following poem was created. I hope you enJOY it! (Thanks for the inspiration, Bro Pat!) Read the rest of this entry »
