Notes About The Poem

Poetry Psyche

Pondering perils

of writing poems in rhyme,

    it plunders my mind.

A poet's plaguing problem

so I propose to pen prose.

Hi Lin, i am beginning to get more appreciation for the shorter forms and i have a special place for the Tanka. They are in with the Haiku, question Ku and senryu. I like the fun in this one, most cleverly written piece. Well, as i see congratulations it must have been on a competition winning list so i add my belated congratulations to you. This has to be a seven Lin. Hugs....Mike. XX

Thanks for the chuckle. Your proposal to pen prose on purpose perpetuates the problem of pondering the perils of poetic rhyme

Precisely promulgates my point, John. lol Thanks.

Like your take:)especially the line " it plunders my mind." All the best:)

Sometimes not much there to plunder lol but thanks, Jo.

A very pleasant poem, Lin...what about free verse:) Enjoyed the alliteration, too. ~ Regards // paul

I love free verse, but that would require another alliterative tanka. ;) Thanks, Paul.
