Andrea Dietrich Poet Tanka

Fatima

Shining like the sun -

whether it be the virgin

in children’s visions

or the mother of one’s soul . . .

she blazes perfection’s path


Nov. 1, 2020 for the Fatima Contest of  Kai Michael Neumann

Carolyn Devonshire November 2, 2020 at 10:45 AM A beautiful tanka, Andrea. People ask why I put up blue lights for Christmas. It's is to honor Mother Mary, who is usually pictured in blue robes. Surely this will be a winner in the contest! Hugs, Carolyn
