There's a carnival
on the transom---they could have
meant the Internet.

Sadness calls through every
waking pore of the spectrum.

Interesting
I recognise the haiku
but the relation to the last two line
seems detatched in meaning
I probably just don't understand

thanks for the kind comments all - lol I see piptalk.com has lost its google home page 'top site link' for the day at least.

does transom really rhyme with spectrum?

Just another visit to say that piptalk is back on top at Google today... and that the ransom referred to was paid a long time ago now, and subsequent internment has been counter-productive.

Also... I wasn't even imagining it that way in filtering consciousness at the time, but the line does bring to mind a darkly humorous scene from some hypothetical spaghetti western, doesn't it?

Thanks again

Interesting attempt at a Tanka.

You brought a ying-yang tug to it, as well.
Yes, we are living in interesting times,
that seems to move far faster than it did for our ancestors.

Thanks!
