David Kavanagh Poet Tanka

Extremism Reflects

left looks for defects
        the right all things imperfect 
             blame the weak effect
             loud verbosity inflects 
           propaganda hate infects

Andrea Dietrich February 18, 2021 at 2:05 PM It's cool to see a rhyming tanka. Thanks for sharing, David. David Kavanagh February 18, 2021 at 3:44 PM Thanks Andrea, I try up the ante sometimes, in rhyming tankas and haikus, more often than not it fails, this one just about makes sense, cheers David
