Yvette is our host and she has challenged us to write a syllabic poem using the word veil. I’ve written a tanka.

😊

A veil of soft mist,
hides the dawn’s unspoken truth—
petals hush the breeze.
Beneath silence, light unfolds,
whispering what night concealed.

    A poem full of secrets – ‘hush’, ‘silence’, ‘concealed’. I liked the rhythm in the poem.
