Read Write Poem's NaPoWriMo #7 Funny side of love tanka
Meeting You
I stand there stickily seething, contemplating
my brand new Mr. Pib perfume and body lotion.
You introduce yourself, offering help.
Gratefully, I accept. A decade later, I am still grateful
to a child and a can of soda on a camping trip.
Notes: I have not experimented with this form of poetry before. It was interesting, and I think I'd like to try my hand at tanka again.

Very touching. We never know when an annoying accident will turn into accidental good fortune :) I hope you do try some more tankas!I like how your whole tanka is in the present tense.
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks for pointing that out. I hadn't noticed, but now that you mention it, I like that, too.
