Frank Hubeny, over at dversepoets.com is hosting right now and challenges us to write short verse. Maybe tanka, maybe other forms…but brevity is the key.
Lady Nyo

The moon floats on wisps
Of clouds extending outward
Tendrils of white fire
Blanketing the universe
Gauzy ghosts of nothingness.

A companion piece written the same time….

Shooting star crosses
Upended bowl of deep night
Imagination!
Fires with excited gaze-
A moment– and all is gone.
