This is a submission for Kevin’s No Theme Thursday.
In phases of dark moon
Dead rising from the Earth soon
Starry Sky guides souls wandering
Evoking memories of spirit’s pondering
©️ Laura Bennett
Weekend Writing Prompt #388: This weekend your challenge is to write a poem or a piece of prose in exactly 21 words using the word “Dark”.
Happy Sunday! At work tonight. Yay. 🙄 A little behind on this prompt and the day, but that’s what happens when your daytime becomes everyone else’s night.
Hope you all have a great start to the week!
