Mourning of the Night

nightingales attend
somber stars appeared at night
soul departs on wings of eve

Lovely message in your poem, Regina. You could make it a Senryu be making the 2nd line 7 syllables. (somber stars appeared at night). It a nice poem just as is, just letting you know about the senryu form. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

Good idea, Bill, I'm going to change it. Senryus are a graceful form. I really appreciate it. Evening blessings to you. ~
