Still, still
Sweet, silent night
Whispered stable story
Glad tidings sung of hist’ry writ
Baby
Jesus
Night of silence
Stable story whispered
Written hist’ry sung, shared gladly
Still, still

Colleen and Ruth challenged me and I’m very glad they did. You can join in, too, for Tanka Tuesday. This week, we are encouraged to write a cinquain; this is a reflecting mirror version.

Thanks, Hobbo! Check out Colleen’s site! She explains a lot of these forms -like that this is actually a Cinquain and I forgot to mention that… 😞
