Izintombi Zamambo Poet Tanka

Surprise, Surprise

September, the third,
gifts, awaiting my lover.
Time tails, until 'noon,
surprising her, surprised me ~
set plans overpowered mine.

Andrea Dietrich September 23, 2022 at 8:18 PM This makes me wonder what happened!!! You should make a long version of it and if you do, tell me. I'd like to know this story. Congrats in my contest. Izintombi Zamambo September 24, 2022 at 1:20 AM To tell you the truth, I had to create this piece out of the few minutes my lover made me wait for her ... in reality, she did eventually come but she was on the phone and I still had to wait...thank you so much!!!
