Andrea Dietrich Poet Tanka

For Tunnel Vision

her tunnel vision
let her see only his wealth
and his handsome face

in a tunnel she lies dead -
victim of the rage he hid

Jennifer Proxenos January 30, 2021 at 7:56 AM Oh Wow, how awful. I fear new romances in this day and age, especially over the internet are a risk. I'm sorry she realized too late. Excellent write. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Anitha Jayasankar January 29, 2021 at 2:35 AM Aww, short, sharp and.. so brilliantly done in Tanka. I have not yet learnt to do many of these short forms.. I will have to learn reading your poems... A sure winner. Best wishes Andrea. Hugs ~ Ani

Sara Kendrick January 28, 2021 at 1:40 PM That does happen so many times and it is not limited to people of wealth. It happens in all classes and races. Creative work. Reads like a good contender to me. Way to go for the contest. Thanks for the visit. Sara Andrea Dietrich January 28, 2021 at 2:07 PM yeah, lots of nutty men out there. Many more murderous men than there are women!

Jack Horne January 28, 2021 at 12:53 PM oh, LOVE this

Alexis Y. January 28, 2021 at 12:08 PM WoW! Andrea, What a good entry for the contest. Short on and concise, and it leaves the opportunity to envision their own scenario on how it was done. Best wishes in the contest. Have a great day - Alexis
