I’m engaging in tiny writes this month, introduced by Georgia Heard on her monthly writing calendar. Margaret Simon of Louisiana shared it on her blog earlier this month. Margaret also introduced me to the Shadorma form, which is a poem consisting of six lines with lines of the following numbers of syllables, in this order: 3,5,3,3,7,5. I’m using a tiny form for the tiny write topics and finding that it is a breath of fresh air after the marathon months of March with the Slice of Life Challenge at http://www.twowritingteachers.org and April with #VerseLove at http://www.ethicalela.com.
Wednesday’s topic on Georgia Heard’s calendar was What the Moon Might Say, but I missed writing that topic, so I picked it for today.
Goodnight Moon
moonbeams shine
Heaven’s messages
on pillows
sweet dreams, Love
is what the moon might say, a
ghostly kiss goodnight

Kim, your poem, this morning, is a lovely tribute to the light that carries us through the night. It’s been a dark, rainy week in my parts and I am certainly looking forward to the light of day as well as the magic of light through the night.

Kim, I’ll take “Heaven’s messages on (my) pillows” each night. Perhaps, they will give me rest. Thanks.
