Bonsai Tanka - Contest

though old still virile bent but untrained by the wind  bonsai beautiful  where white scented blossoms grow your copper wired cane holds

Yes. My thinking was anyone can win, so I read all the great Tankas and made sure mine was just a little less than all the rest. My diabolical plan worked. I lost in spades. Which was my objective so MwaaHaaHaa I win.
