Tanka Feb 9

november the fifth-
layered rolls of liquid fog
envelope the bonfire-
the party becomes a
damp squib

NOTE:Essentially a tanka in English is a 3 line hiku(SHOW)& a 2 line couplet (TELL) comment

The poet's note- yes and though 5 lines don't need to be 5-7-5-7-7...and could be less than 31 syllables. Fine tanka.
