Notes About The Poem
Everyone sins....This is an Alliteration mixed with the Tanka form. "Whoremonger crys out to God...An angel is sent her way and cleanses her white as snow.

Whitewash

When widow whore weeps while worshiping, wide windows welcomes whistling wings. Wrongfully... wretched ways washed white with waters wondrous works.

I have to time and time again. Life changes, and so does the actions. I try to not repeat the same sins like King David. Strong and crafty peace!!

Just A Note: I Failed To Mention That, As Millions Of Priceless Lives Are Starving To Death About This Globe; Others Somehow Feel Justified In Allowing While Defending Such ? Man, But That's Just One Grain Of Sand Amid, Babylon's Woes....Thanks For Stopping By My Poetic Friend...Love, Jeremy

Beautiful!! The cleansing of the soul. Love your use of alliteration -- "W" seems the perfect choice for this theme. Xx~Xx

Yes, Worshipping Her Store Front Window On Rodeo Drive Or Perhaps Another Of Bugle Boys High Rises ? Washed Clean With Slime Green Sheens Sparkling Revenues And Oh The Wondours, Within It All....In Mexico Their Killing Children And Freezing Their Organs ? In Africa As Her middle East, Their Just Killing Children ? In America, Their Much More Covert As Subtle In How They Proceed, To Strip Their Seeds....Love, Jeremy

This is an amazing feat you present. I have never seen a tanka with all the words beginning with the same letter. How you made the whole write make sense is incredible.

Thanks for the visit...I feel like its a creative tanka/ alliteration piece. Whoremonger is simply tired and wants to turn from his/her wretched ways. While worshiping "God" an angel comes in and washes his/her slate white as snow. Forgiven! Again thanks for the visit
