In Between Eclipses - #XplorationChallenge #tanka #poem #poetry #poetrychallenges @YvetteMCalleiro


Hello, beautiful readers! I had a wonderful visit with my parents last night. My mom is still having difficulty breathing. She's meeting with a new pulmonologist this upcoming week, so hopefully we can get some answers.

Today, I've decided to participate in Reena's Xploration Challenge #419. Reena invites us to use the theme "In Between Eclipses" in our poem. I chose to write a tanka using the phrase.

before darkest hour
moments in between eclipses
let your light shine bright
illuminate others' hearts
show them darkness does not last

  4. What a wonderful verse to help us get through some of the current darker days.

    Hope you have gotten some answers on your Mom's health. For a while there my MIL (she should rest) - ended up on oxygen.
