David Kavanagh Poet Tanka

Hell Hath No Fury Beware

hot burning affair 
                 but he was part of a pair 
                     wife became aware 
            ripping them off wants her share 
                   family jewels left bare

Funom Makama April 27, 2021 at 7:33 PM An unfortunate occurrence that has not stopped happening in this century.. You have written a real life experience in a very few words. Great poem David David Kavanagh April 28, 2021 at 2:07 AM Heya Funom, thank you so much for looking in, your right has not stopped and probably never will, I wasn’t judging the circumstances just perhaps the consequences, cheers David

Sotto Poet April 25, 2021 at 9:36 PM Even though it's amusing, I'm sure it wasn't easy to write this tanka, only thinking about how to hurt the despised lover would be.Have a wonderful day, dear David. Best regards, cheers // Lasaad David Kavanagh April 25, 2021 at 11:38 PM Your so right Lasaad, this took a bit of figuring out, I took it apart numerous times, swapping lines and rhymes, til I was satisfied, or indeed the wife got satisfaction, cheers David

Arturo Michael April 25, 2021 at 3:48 PM A troubling Tanka...Well done. David Kavanagh April 25, 2021 at 8:24 PM Thanks Arturo, either way it’s very troubling, nobody can be sure how a woman scorned will react, cheers David
