Stardust

Lonely girl sleeping
under a spring moon she dreams
dancing, stardust gown
lonely boy shyly asks her
kiss at prom of Milky Way

Thank you for your kind and generous comments, Howard, so appreciated. The supermoon here is large and a light golden color. It's just peaked over the mountains. A blessed evening to you & your family. :)

Dear Regina, Your Tanka beautifully captures the magic of youthful dreams and cosmic connection. Such wonderful imagery of a lonely girl and a shy boy under the stars evokes a sense of wonder and hope that love can transcend even the vastness of space. Regina your words are filled with the sweetness of innocence and the promise of new beginnings. Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Wish my mother and father were still alive. I'd send them your beautiful tanka, Regina -- as they were married on Veteran's Day, Nov. 11, 1947... Lovely penned, my friend!
