Challenge
One of the things that I love to try to do everyday, (not always successfully), is pull up a picture of a beautiful landscape and write a poem about the beauty I see. Try this. Any landscape you like, mountains, lakes, woods, the ocean. Whatever you find beautiful in nature. Even wild animals. Perhaps you prefer to write about the beauty of the stars and the moon or our ever romantic skies. Whatever you find beauty in, post a picture and write. Any form, prefer poetry. I'll do one too.

A Beautiful, Tragic Monochrome
Weird I am, yet the graveyard is a beauty,
Such bittersweet tragic melody.
It's gray, lifeless and dull in fact,
But it's appreciation that I lack.
There's beauty in death and sorrow
An ache so dim and hollow,
I looked and thereby the ground,
A grave so old as the rain poured down.
I can't get over the hurt when I see her name,
Knowing I couldn't protect her cause all the more shame.
But I just gave her a bouquet of roses,
A vibrant color of just an adornment.
It's the sorrow that kept it going,
The pain that kept it strong.
Somehow as the roses lie in the graveyard,
It became the only beauty seen from afar.
