Dining Under the Rainbow
A Prism & Pen writing prompt
Are rainbows writing magic?
Not long ago, I dined under a triple rainbow that filled the sky over the restaurant in the tiny Michigan village where I live. I’ll never forget how the colors glinted off pond ripples just beyond the terrace.
I’ll never forget spying a grizzled old gay couple in the same grungy joint, dressed like the farmers you’d expect them to be, but with one pair of wrinkled overalls set off by a pastel ascot in colors that advertised the men’s queerness as loudly as their mannerisms and speech.
My fiction writer’s soul is begging me to write a story about those guys, and maybe it’s time! This prompt is for me, but I’m inviting you to come play too. Let’s write about Dining Under the Rainbow.
P&P’s new two-week prompt starts today
Fiction, nonfiction, poetry — you name it, as long as you write about Dining Under the Rainbow, which could mean just about anything. Literal, symbolic, mystical, faith-based, whimsical — whatever strikes you, let’s tell some stories!
