Glow

Gloom
enfolds
so many
stumbling in the 
dark

Glow
with love
and kindness
to show all your
light

It's very true, when you're feeling blue. The light seems to evade. But then one day you find your way and see how love is made. I love the sentiment in this poem Andrea.

Love is the answer to life Andrea. Lovely! I have never written in this form. Seems simple but I bet is not. : ) xxoo

it really is simple, Connie. I am surprised more have not whipped one up yet. Mine is not fantastic but i think I followed the rules at least.

Reads like a good contender for the contest. Way to go. Without the Light we would all be stumbling in the dark. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

An excellent contrasting double Lantern, Andrea. The opening and closing words of both poems reflect the true spirit of this form. Regards // paul
