Nette Onclaud Poet Tanka

Hymn of Faith

nightfall comes again

howls wander like a lost cloud

shattering iced air...


until hymn of stars rises

to kindle faith’s melody

Darlene Gifford September 4, 2014 at 1:28 PM I enjoyed your poem, especially your line, "until hymn of stars rises." Also thank you for showing me how to write a Tanka. I think I'll study that form and try to write one myself later. At my age, I'm still learning! :)
