Tainted Memory Tanka

Sound of broken twigs
turned the ears of a lone wolf
Memoir of his ex
tainted his way to true love
sound of broken twigs -- She left

Lily, this is really quite a remarkable Tanka. It actually made me feel sorry for the wolf, though it can easily be seen as a metaphor for humans. Heartbreaking story told in just five lines. Awesome! Congratulations on your win! Best Wishes, Carolyn
