Ssendam Dna Raef- a Tanka Poem
I’m HOWLING inside
clawing the dark walls unseen
alone…feeble…scared
do you sometimes sense my fear?
would you save me if you could?
*I wrote this poem on April 5, 2021, as part of the ’30 days of poetry challenge. This was day 5 and the prompt was: Write a poem in one of these poetic forms: BLANK VERSE, TANKA, PASTORAL, ODE, SONNET, OR PALINDROME. chose to write a Tanka poem with the theme of Madness and Fear. This was my very first attempt at it. Let me know what you think.
