L Milton Hankins Poet Sedoka

Danger

Sheep bleating sundown 
Wolves lurk furtively in packs  
Moans of dying voices warn. 
Shepherd alert now 
Danger to his frightened flock 
Brings crude weapons to ready.

Evelyn Judy Buehler February 28, 2021 at 8:48 PM Your sedoka paints a vivid picture of wolves lurking, danger and caution. Well imagined. L Milton Hankins February 28, 2021 at 9:51 PM Thanks so much, Evelyn. I always appreciate your generous, kind words.

Robert Pettit February 28, 2021 at 3:19 PM Looks like a good example of a sedoka poem. L Milton Hankins February 28, 2021 at 6:41 PM Thanks, Robert. The poem came first, then while reworking it, it became a sedoka. A fun write, anyway.
