It was fun reviewing these again. You gotta be from England to get tanka with Rankler. But maybe you are east coast? Sorry I don't remember!!

Congratulations on your win, Richard! These were very clever and fitting for the Soup. My favorites were the "triplet / couplet" and "idle / idyll" ... took me a second to get the drunk poem, but then it clicked, and I got a good chuckle.
