This is the poem for Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday challenge. A cinquain. I’ve done the false etheree already…
Night hues,
soft as your breath,
warm, before the cold stars
bathe the shadows grey in glittered
unease.

Enjoyed them both, actually.
Thank you! The first just didn’t fit the prompt. I was away with the fairies when I wrote it 🙂
What wonderful contrast of temperatures. Those last two lines are outstanding
Thank you! I’m pleased you found some poetry in it. It’s easy to lose it in these very short forms.
Oh, this is lovely and atmospheric. ❤
Thank you, Colleen 🙂
I consent with Colleen. Best wishes, Michael.
Thank you, Michael 🙂
:-)) Always my pleasure, Jane! You too for wonderful poems and thoughts. Michael

Excellent 💜
Cheers 🙂
I too like the contrast. It makes that last word very effective. (K)
Thank you. It took me a bit by surprise, but I like it.
Both my words and art take me by surprise. It’s a good thing I think.
It means they have a life of their own.
Lovely Jane.
Thanks Robbie 🙂
Lovely, Jane. I can feel the temperature and colors!
Thank you, Miriam. i’m pleased you like it 🙂
Well done, Jane! 🙂

I also like the contrast and all the colors.
Thank you 🙂

Glittered unease – gave me sweet shivers. xo
Thank you! I’m glad it did, I wanted to get an off-kilter effect 🙂
You did it perfectly…of course. I learn much by reading your poems. xo
I’m pleased! We all learn from reading other poets’ work 🙂
Absolutely. And for me, good poetry makes me think as I get goosebumps within. ❤
It’s good when writing jolts us into questioning.
Lovely!
🙂
Brilliant, Jane!
Thank you, Vashti 🙂
