LONELY TANKA
the wound is so Deep
it will scar your Memory
loneliness is Sad.
even after she leaves You
her unwanted stench is There.

LONELY TANKA
Written 1980
Inspiration
I was challenged to write a Tanka, and decided that a universal theme is
loneliness. Tankas can only have 5 lines, and only a certain amount
of syllabals on each line. I had fun with this one, and decided to
capitalize the last word of each sentence instead of the first word!
