Notes About The Poem
Written on August 2nd, 2025 for Oliver Mckeithan's Tanka-Haiku Poetry Contest.

reaping

alabaster clouds
morph into ashen grey smoke
acid rain plummets 
a grieving heart breaks in two 
drowning within its own flood

angel of deaths scythe
shows not an ounce of mercy 
reaps a twin flames love
