When Perils Warned Me
I looked back, all smiles,
At my perils trailing miles,
‘Too early, dear mate’,
They said, ‘you had better wait,
We have a stockpile of wiles.’

Poet’s note: Thank perils that life feels alive. They provide life with vim, vigour, and drive. Upon triumphing over a few perils, never mock at them. This Tanka has a rhyme scheme of a limerick.
