Bewitching Night

Lover 1

bewitching  night
screech owls mock our sighs
toiled forest path 



Lover 2

lonely moonless sky
thousand strokes of raven hair
silk sheets undisturbed
jasmine scented candles burn 
mother of pearl glistening

Beautiful, scintillating images! I thought that this was ,by far, the best entry. Your lovers beckon with mysterious, natural portents. A great synthesis of fate and favor. This is the best poem that I have read in a while!

Remember as long as you are under 17 in the haiku & under 31 in the tanka I don't care, haiku speaks in phrases because the intent is for the mesage to be very open ended someone might write a haiku to preceed YOUR group or a tank OR the might jump in and write a haiku AFTER your tanka, SO, no sentences, phrases, you are definetly on the right track! And lovely to FEEL an emotional CONTENT!![no need for is the, line 1] Thanks so much you are giving me hope! Light & Love
