Thanks so much, Jan. To me, tanka and haiku are tricky; I never really feel sure my poem qualifies as one of these! Janice

Indeed! Money has corrupted most people, I would venture to say and are obsessed with material possessions. Well written, Janice:)

Thanks so much, Danny. Some other church members (all 60+ women, like me) and I were discussing materialism one day. At first, we all said there was little of that in us. Within ten minutes we were all SEEING it . . . ! Janice
