Nature

bestows 

some with

natural charm

then expects others

to be happy and thankful

for whatever they have

never crib or complain

A Hard Task

My

home was

surrounded

#Weekly Tanka Prompt #Poetry Challenge – Week 92 – Darkness & Peace

Etheree Poetry 

I

am not

complaining

but I grieve for

the total darkness 

after the sunset when

the trees did cast mysterious

shadows on the full moon night and

the stars embellished the moonless night

now too much light has destroyed all the peace

breeze arrived dampening me

whispered don’t whine dear
