The Stafford Challenge, Day 16

Writing an asefru today: three stanzas, 7-5-7 syllables, each rhymed aab, a poetic form from Berber literature in Kabylia. Thanks to the poets in the Stafford Challenge community facebook who have written isefra (plural of asefru) lately. A new form to me! Star Stuff When Crosby, Stills, & Nash and Joni Mitchell sang “We are stardust,” they were not kidding. Every atom in our bodies came from a star’s center, dense and hot: our oxygen, nitrogen, carbon. We’re far-flung dreamers, star-born astronauts. —Draft by Vince Gotera    [Do not copy or quote . . . thanks.] Illustration by geralt from Pixabay Friends, won’t you comment, please?
