haiku

irritating sand
oyster works to soothe the hurt--
a pearl develops

    I've been thinking about how it is the irritations that help develop my creativity.  When I'm the most frustrated is when I work the hardest to find a good solution.  It is the bright sunshine that balances those dark moments.  So your poetry challenge for today is to write a poem about something that frustrates, hurts, disturbs you.  Have fun digging deep.

      Thanks Rosi,
      I had about 6 variations on this topic before I got to the one you see. I'm still not sure it is right. I've been having fun thinking about the relationship between the oyster and the sand. One without the other would not be as great. I keep wondering if there might be a picture book in this story. What do you think? Would you do it like the Ugly Duckling?
