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.

Noel Onat Date: 7/25/2025 9:35:00 PM Nice one. Your last line has 5 syllables, not 4.Just saying Login to Reply Noel Onat Date: 7/26/2025 9:59:00 PM 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 Sam Kauffman Date: 7/26/2025 11:44:00 AM 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!
