Valleys and mountains
Fruitful orchards of growth
Reaching for understanding
A butterfly trying to begin
~
Islands of love and diversity
Rainbows of cultural awareness
Friends of many colors made
Searching for and finding true unity
~
The land of three different people
Each one a facet of the jewel of humanity
Gifts shared through their daily lives
Everyone admired and totally equal

The prompt for this Sunday Mini-Challenge is Islands.
“For this Sunday Mini-Challenge, write about a situation or time or relationship or in your life as if it were an island encountered on the wide wild sea. Land us there, tell us what you found or learned there or what it looked like diminishing behind you as you moved on.
The only stylistic requirements I ask is that your poem is a new creation and that you include the word “island” in your title.”~Brenda For this Sunday Mini-Challenge, write about a situation or time or relationship or in your life as if it were an island encountered on the wide wild sea.

In the pic, the island looks pretty bare with no trees or greenery, but your writing makes it sound like an ideal place to be!!:)

I love the idea of an island of growth. Maybe we can send all the world leaders there to learn these lessons.

Islands need not be large, to be magnificent. Communities need not be large, to be influential.

this rocky, craggy coastline reminds me of something perhaps in the northwest. usa is a part of sacred mother earth just as we are all part of the same sea, as “waves upon the sea”
