My Supplication

2/11/2022

Hello blog friends! We've had some incredible evenings of recent in Northern Arizona. Even my cell phone camera can't fail when it comes to the Prescott skies. I took the photo below just two evenings ago.

When I received author Colleen Chesebro's weekly prompt, I opted for a poem reflective of the night sky. Colleen asked that we try a new syllabic form - Abhanga. It's a 4-line stanza with the second and third line rhyming. And, the syllables are 6-6-6-4.

MY SUPPLICATION

Simple, but I hope you like it. I also invite you to try writing an Abhanga as well. Till next week, let's all look to the heavens for blessings.

Stay well, my friends. 💗
