Exposure

Abreast in tank top

Seeds deflower battle myths

Red lace lingerie

Under shadow of turret

Flowing combat above doubt


Garland of poppies

Sword unsheathed for wild conquest

Guns orange roses

Heavy metal for comfort

White flag intimate cover


Make love and not war

Coronet for a bouquet

Tiara of peace

Sweet surrender in motion

Wreaths for a renegade cause

Contest Let the Pens Flow Tanka Poetry

Sponsored by Jenish Somadas

Syllables checked howmanysyllable.com


Traditionally a tanka does not have a title, but I have to give one to submit the 

poem. I hope that Exposure enhances more than it may distract.

Scorching. I particularly like the pairing of Red Lace Lingerie and Garland of Poppies, a vision strung with bullets and revolutionary blood, read. The entire composition of words evokes revolution. Entire poem is a winner. On some far away beach, baby's on fire and eno is nodding to fripp.
