David Kavanagh Poet Tanka

Pretty Woman Starts

oh my wilful heart 
            straying so far off the chart
                   sultry work of art
            she’s ready to play her part 
               julia makes a great tart

Caren Krutsinger January 20, 2021 at 4:52 AM Julia the tart must be smirking and smiling about this gorgeous tanka tribute! David Kavanagh January 20, 2021 at 5:25 AM Yeah she won’t mind Caren, got a good sense of humor like yourself, cheers for all the wonderful comments today, David

Ryan J. Mccabe January 19, 2021 at 12:28 PM Ha! Is that a reference to Julia Childs at the end? I hope so because it's a wonderful little allusive wordplay if it is. Well written piece my friend and fellow poet. David Kavanagh January 19, 2021 at 12:33 PM Well now that’s a bit of a pickle Ryan, take your choice, you got the double entendre, Childs or Roberts, cheers David
