Kim Rodrigues Poet Tanka

Swept Up By Illusions

Every moment of the day there should be someone
shouting from the rooftops, "Life, enjoy it while you can.”
                   — Marty Rubin

bursting the bubble of entertainment — the call
                   — ME 

SWEPT UP BY ILLUSIONS

time in tick tock tick
   with a pendulum sickle
and grim reaper cloak
  of today the sun’s shining
    picayune of pink roses
