Maharani Ma Zen Ton

The Maharani’s carriage has long passed
Dark night is approaching fast
The indigo sky has a full moon
The stars make a way to heaven
Streets wet as the rain drops
Flowers asleep with heads bowed
Maharani turns toward the moon
The chilling beauty softly croons
And every being out at night
Hurry home to its warm light
Maharani steps down on the path
Gently caressing the marble bird bath
And towards the palace she moves
Leaving behind the sound of retreating hooves

By- Tahera Moiz Mannan
Inspired by my poem ‘Dawn of Hope’ for Nikko’s contest

WAY to go, Tahera. NIkko showed me there is a website to find many anagrams and I have a really good one for me but not time to DO IT. I really enjoyed how you took your approach. Best of luck in the contest and I am OUT OF HERE (going home now.) Luv, andrea
