Paper lantern
translucent
façade, paper thin
hides nothing.
She glows from within.
the dark moth,
wings, paper thin
lies weakened.
I rise, now and then:
she rises
shedding light on her way,
I spiral
in dance, round her flame.

Yes - can tell you are new - you haven't managed to beat the programme and keep the \\\'s at bay yet....
Welcome to MPS. Enjoy your stay - It's an interactive site - please interact.
Thanks Dave, I most certainly will be commenting and adding more of my own posts, as I find my way around. So, what's the skinny with these backslashes then? Do I need to learn code or the secret handshake?
Nah - just keep at it before you send; and if they appear go back one step and eliminate - you'll get all the little foible of the programme in the end...
Anyway, welcome to....ah I've already done that....
Excellent write, welcome to the club
Thank you Tony!
You're welcome
