5-7-5-7-7 Inanimate words On impersonal paper Yet awesome power To touch strangers who don't meet Setting blaze their hearts and souls |

What a truthful way to describe poetry! Elizabeth I'm grabbing my hat and coat I'm leaving the cat a note Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town! |

~Kaile~ I am flattered that I inspired you to write this with my tanka about poetry, a compliment which I am shocked to receive, I don't really consider myself a talented poet like all the other amazing ones here, but thank you nonetheless. You'll receive your check in the mail soon for that compliment LOL I love this tanka, what a refreshing look at how poetry makes one feel and how it can bring people together with it's power! I love the last two lines: "to touch strangers who don't meet setting blaze their heart and souls" Take care, Melissa Honeybee |
