COLLEEN’S 2020 WEEKLY #TANKA TUESDAY #POETRY CHALLENGE NO. 196, #THEMEPROMPT

This month’s theme is:

The Night Sky

Stars
To light
My dark nights
To show me more
Dancing colours bright
Moving for my delight
Between the trees a jewel
Sparkling magic to dress each branch
Great wonders made by His word alone
To always light my way home, on the edge…

    Excellent Etheree, Anita. I love that you are on the mend. The last line adds a touch of reality to the poem. I like: “on the edge…” that can mean many different things. <3
