Observe blue, fine trains
Bright and low in the night sky
Dazzling hours
Heaven sparkling its light
Creating magic and joy
I hope you enjoyed my tanka for this week’s Ekphrastic Photoprompt for Colleen Chesebro’s poetry challenge.
I’ve a fair amount of news! I would like to share that my YA fantasy Bloodstone is in The AllAuthor cover competition! I’d love it if you could vote for it. It is doing really well and at the last count was at #23 in the voting ranks. I’m hoping with your help it will go through to the next round.
News To Share!
Thrilled with these two new 5 star reviews of Bloodstone. Thank you so much to Helen Pryke and Denise Finn for reading and reviewing!

Congrats on the running Marje. I tried to vote, but sorry, I was shut out. Keep us posted, and lovely poem. <3
Oh that’s odd. You could always try again I know at least one person tried this and worked 2nd time. But no worries if you can’t and thanks for your coming by. X
Ah just checked must have not got through to final round Debby. That’s why, #26.
Aw, sorry Marje. But a great run! <3
Yes, never won the egg and spoon race either. But got quite far with this one!
