Not a Single Star

     I was invited by Ed Bremson to join another group in Facebook called Five Line Poems. For my first post, I wrote this before I went to bed.

 
not a single star
speaks to me tonight
but all these poems
I tuck under my pillow
with a smile


     It was quite liberating writing this poem because all I had to do was write a poem with five lines. I didn't have to  stick to the rules of a good tanka, a kind of poetry I need to learn more about.
