Today at RDP, Punam asks us
to get creative with the word ‘blink’.
Thanks, Punam! Here’s my take.
Whisper And Hush
In the quiet of night, under a pale moon of pink
Twinkling eyes linger with a momentary blink
A second’s blushing connection, a flirtatious wink
Binding two hearts forever by an unspoken link

Gorgeous, is the word, and a classic song by ‘Van’ … my tonight’s post is not about the moon, but twilight time does get a mention … however, exactly 4 years ago, I wrote this Tanka for Coffee House Writers magazine …
In The Blink Of An Eye (a Tanka)
Tears on my pillow
Butterflies on the ceiling
I see silent bells
Where memories never drown
And imagination thrives
