rain dance Evil takes his victory lap while ashes like confetti fall. But demons stay their hands mid-clap, now doubting they’ve won, after all... For on the charred and war-stained sands, Hope, in pink galoshes stands. September 29, 2019 Make IT Six Contest Picture #4 Joseph May, Sponsor

Splendid creation my friend. The depths of truth and the insight shows in six poetic verses a soul that seeks not the sweeter candy that so many modern poets just love to so deeply wallow in.IMHO.. A fav.. closing verses are perfect..
