Challenge
Challenge of the Week LXXXVI
Write about a blessing in disguise. A cloud with a silver lining. A time when an obstacle turned out to be a boon. Poetry or Prose, fiction or nonfiction.
Reading the Student
On his way... a Student –
with awkward posture, possibly from his backpack,
hung over,
one shoulder
as he struggles to carry on, possibly hung over,
from the night before.
At this moment in time,
his pockets are filled only
with the currency of hopes and dreams.
And from his faith in a better tomorrow...
you’ll most possibly find him hip-hopping his way
to the library...
to read,
and to possibly one day,
be read,
by others.
