A solitary flame
strides through
the brooding dark.
Could it be him?
The tepid wind mocks –
Look!
Serendipity
is bringing home
a lucky star.

Good to see your post here. The idea of a single flame in brooding dark is a strong image. Making it exactly 140 characters long is quite a challenge. Excellent.

Thanks Peggy 🙂 Have been experimenting with 140 characters for a while now, have posted a few on my blog. Challenging but fun!

Your poem is very evocative. One flame would definitely really stand out in the dark. And…the lucky star makes me smile…something we perhaps all hope for?
