I call this a semi-vertical free verse tanka and I’m very grateful to Alison Williams at Quail Eggs for publishing something different. Unfortunately she placed it LH justified so here is how I prefer. Originally came from a #NaTankaMo prompt 🙏 @evecastle.bsky.social. quaileggstanka.blogspot.com

Never giving up
Holding on tightly to faith
In the darkest days
Letting hope lead us along
We can make it through the night

Against the indigo night
Planes flying over
Alone, but not lonely
Feeling at peace in my heart
