Drew's Poetry Prompts - 2. Tanka- Another Victory

Poetry Prompt 1
 
Before the Sun’s gaze,
 
The yellow grass are victors.
 
Beneath the Shadows,
 
The vanquished foe holds steadfast.
 
In defeat, see how they weep?

I was intimidated by Tankas the first time I read AC's prompt. I thought, "No, I can never do that." Even now, II still have doubts. But, I know those doubts will fade as I get better and more comfortable with this form :)

 

Thank you Tim! :hug:

Nicely done Drew.

I like that you told a complete story, but with few words. :)

When I wrote this, I didn't realize this poem can be considered a complete story. Granted, a really short story LOL!

 

Thanks Reader! :hug:
