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 July 25, 2025 at 9:35 PM Nice one. Your last line has 5 syllables, not 4.Just saying Noel Onat July 26, 2025 at 9:59 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 July 26, 2025 at 11:44 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!
