gazing at the moon
in the cool of this spring night-
moment of solace,
lower edge looks nibbled on,
a bit tattered, much like me

For Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday at her Weekly Poetry Challenge where the prompt words are Comfort & Worn and we are using synonyms. I used Solace & Tattered
Wow, this is an amazing tanka! I really enjoyed it, especially the last line!
