No Title
I found myself in hospital,
no great deal.
This time it was for teeth extraction.
No self respecting dentist on our NHS,
(National Health Service)
would touch me.
Too many complications.
He injected my gums,
waited......waited......
and finally

Poetry contains almost all you need to know about life
--Josephine Hart
Hi Rose,
This prompt is almost the same thing, but it starts from what you lost instead of what you found:
Many personal experience narratives tell about a loss: loss of a home, a friend, a family member, an opportunity, a way of life, and so on. To fill out this narrative for storytelling, authors look deeper for something they found there because of the loss. What are all the details and emotions related to the loss, and how and what did you find?
It's from Aprile, D. (2009). Lost & found: uncovering buried treasure in your stories. In S. Ellis (Ed.), Now write! nonfiction : memoir, journalism, and creative nonfiction exercises from today's best writers and teachers (pp. 61-63). New York: Penguin.
