The rose's beauty
Should tell us the answer why
Their stems wear sharp thorns
Beauty demands protection
Beauty lives in dangers way

A lot of truth within this tanka....I thought you did quite well on it.
Hope to see more.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

great tanka...with wisdom added!

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

good effort....reminds me of when i was a child and wondered why such a beautiful thing like a rose is "spoiled" by the presence of the thorns...

Roses have beauty
aesthetic pleasure to eyes
but also have thorns
        

sweet the fragrant rose
is not without defenses
thorns bring home this point

Your First Tanka is a job well done,Dennis
