Shine

Scintillate, sweet star. How amazing, dear, you are. In my life you shine Neverendingly divine - Envied by the heavens – mine! April 12, 2021 For the Writing Prompt - Shine - Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France NOTE: I wanted to create a variation of tanka which is also acrostic and rhymed. I will name this form a rhymed TANK-A-CROSTIC!

Hey Andrea I love rhyming tankas, but you got an acrostic too, and if you changed the final word, a limerick format appears too, what on earth could we call that, TANKACROSERICK, Hope thats never called after me, lol cheers David
