Dreams of a Superwoman

I flew through the mall

Wore Superman’s cape and suit

It was Christmas time

With ease, my shopping complete

The woman of steel prevailed





For Michael Falotico’s Tanka me a Dream contest

Never get in the way of lady shopping, especially at the sales. My poem about San Andrés, is the San Andrés in the Canary Islands. It's near Tererife. Good luck in Michael's contest Diane....:)

You will be a bigger superwoman if you pay off all your charges before the next holiday season. Well written

Best of luck with this so true to life scenario, played time and again each year, Diane. At least we can take a breath for now : ) Michael will have a tough time as the Tankas all seemed truly well written. Hope you're doing fine. Always, Annalise
