Sotto Poet Poet Tanka

Notes About The Poem

Swollen Eyelid

The sting of a wasp
Smacked me hard on the eyelid
Can't get rid of itch
Swollen,  scrape is so awful
Wasp drove me nuts; I can't blink

L Milton Hankins August 23, 2021 at 5:42 PM Oh, please let this be fiction based on a picture you found...and not your experience! That looks so painful! Sotto Poet August 24, 2021 at 8:25 AM Thanks for your concern, my friend Milton; this is just fictional for the contest.
