A very well-written 1-6-1 poem. The one thing that is always needed in a dark night is definitely a beacon of white light shining so that we can see where we must go.

Writing in the format of 1-6-1 isn't as easy as it looks. But, your illustration fits your poem very well. And... You have rhyme, rhythm and a flow of words that make for a very nice read. I wish you luck in the contest.

You have made effective use of every syllable in this 1-6-1 about
the power of light over darkness. The Bible addresses the literal and
symbolic significance of light and dark.

The basic requirements of this form are purely syllabic so full marks for not only being compliant in that respect but being poetic in addition with all the lines of your tercet rhyming.

    I think I missed the fact that three rhymes were also a requirement.

    You are right... that is ALWAYS the tricky part, Jim. Thanks a bunch.

Thank you for sharing. Despite the difficulty of these short forms, you have met the challenge quite admirably. I believe this is my favorite thus far. Your correct syllable count should ensure the contest criteria have been met. Your chosen illustration is appropriate. Good luck with your contest entry!

It definitely takes a lot of planning to put short poems like this together. The form is solid and the statement it makes presents a solid theme. Very well done on a difficult form. Cowboy

Lovely pairing of picture and poem. That "beacon of white light" has long symbolized HOPE or FAITH for many of us. I like the subtle way you used three rhymes in this short poem.

This is so well put together. I just love your artwork...and your few words allowed are so well chosen. I see this is for a contest, so I wish you the best of luck. I will be anxious to see who the poet is...as I have an inkling in my head.
