Not What It Seems...
In a short, not more than 50 words, start with something that seems beautiful but surprises us, or perhaps begin with something that seems sinister and turns out to be quite lovely. However you'd like to go. See my example if you need a hint, but feel free to take the prompt as you wish! God bless and much success! PLEASE tag me @LexiCon in the comments after you've finished your piece). It's been a while since I've hosted a challenge (and really interacted much with the site in general) I pray you've all been well! Much love.
The Orchard
She hung, glowing.
Once full of sweet life.
Her skin, smooth and tight, now wrinkled.
Her body hanging, swaying to wind.
Looked at with disgust, a beautiful lady left for death.
Finally cut from the branch to nourish her roots.
From dust you came & to dust you shall return.
