like the poem's slightly dark tone. Appropriate for this dark winter we are all living in -seeing a glimmer of hope after a long dark year of death, despair, and what might become Great Depression 2.0. But we hold onto that glimmer of hope although it seems to be just a flicker of light from a candle holding back the darkness all around. Hmm inspired me to turn this into a poem or something.

I really like what you have done with your lune, Zanya. Sometimes those dark wintry days can be oppressive, especially when they go on for weeks on end.

This is contest compliant and still contains a flicker of hope.

Wishing you much luck with the Contest Committee.

Gloria

This is so true. There is something about the cold and darkness of winter that makes us want to burrow down under the covers and stay there. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

Zanya,

Okay, here's the honest truth. I have read far too many of these lune entries lately and yours is the first one I have seen that is GOOD. Actually, excellent. I can't imagine any post that could beat this one in the voting. Thanks and good luck!

Indeed it does fade to a flicker. We all are doing our best to keep it lit in these very difficult days. You followed the rules and penned an excellent entry for the Lune Contest. Nicely done.

Hello, zanya,

Awesome entry for the Lune Poetry Contest. Good syllables count and connection between lines. Pretty presentation. It's very sad. It's important to have Hope.

I wasn't positive about the format...and apparently after just coming back from surfing the web there are a number of variants. It might have been helpful to refer the reader to the contest rules to find what format was expected--if nothing else to help educate us.

Now--

Seeing the contest calls for 5 syllables/ three syllables/ five syllables--I see you've followed the format to a "T"... The mood is quiet and the perspective somewhat sad and yet the truth shines forth and after reading this a number of times I found myself comforted that any light at all survives.

Nice Lune.

Hi Zanya, I really liked thiis lune so very much. I can agree and visualise what you are portraying. Just a little info. A lune should not be centred as it has to portray a waining moon. Hence:

On dark wintry days
light of hope
fades to a flicker

Good luck in the contest. Ulla:)))
