Tanka (Venus)

Venus_Fotor

a harem of stars

while sea-mist veils the pre-dawn

Venus holds my heart

sunrise promises splendour

only one can claim my love

  Sunrise, for with sunrise come the day, followed by the night, and I know I have a date with Venus!

The phrase ‘harem of stars’ has been wonderfully used, Andy! Lovely composition… 🙂

Thank you Mani – the phrase came to me as I walked the dog along the foreshore at dusk and Venus was shining the brightest amongst a plethora of stars,not was an almost breathtakingly clear evening 😊❤️

I agree with Mani. ‘harem of the stars’ is used so beautifully. There is something so magical about that time just before the sun goes up and down…in a way, we can’t control it and it’s like we’re seeing magic right before our eyes. Hope all is well with you, Andy. Winter is in full force over here.

Thank you Mabel – dawn and evening are my favourite times too. March next year we go to Iceland and it will not only be very cold, but we may see the midnight sunset 😊. That will be special. Stay warm, only about 80 days until spring 😉

  Hope you get to go to Iceland at some point, and maybe you can see the Northern lights 😊 Yes, spring and summer is almost upon us now 😊😊
