Wilma Neels Poet Tanka

'illusion'

she felt his heart beat
so identifiable 
an enchanting sound
her only recollection
of the man she use to love

the heart’s trickery 
has claimed another victim 
yet her heart still beats
is it just an illusion?
or will she find her way back?


Contest Name : “BAG OF TRICKS”
