poem of the day August 10 

In the beginning

two bridges to

two islands

from one mainland

brought two colors

to each island

One color was black

One color was white

Out of nowhere 

a big wave

washed both 

bridges away

and the two islands

were separated

After many years

the bridges 

were rebuilt

When the mainland

finally arrived

they found

two different worlds

One island had

mixed the two colors

so there was only

one color

One island had not

mixed colors

and was still

black and white

On the mixed island

everyone was happy

On the black & white island

everyone was not
