Dark Coal of Night

Vibrations from a Verso 7-25-25 Sponsor: Nette Onclaud Theme Chosen: Dark Coal of Night ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dark Coal of Night Moonbeams, morning’s prophet, Chase coal of night Into wombs of white fire As flames imbue Dreams with clarity’s gems Facets of light, Glittering stars of dawn ~ Diamonds of dew.

Sir, only exclamation point needed on last word of last line, no other punctuations. I had to redo my entry but late for submission. Good luck

Thank you, Noel. Took your hint and looked up the syllable count of the last line on www.howmanysyllables.com. Turns out it is four but I so appreciate the time you took to read and give me feedback! Sending you blessings!
