The apparent seed of my longer poem "Katie," found in my first collection.




Before

Katie would sway
and croon the tunes
of Joni Mitchell
before she married
that son-of-a-bitch.

A lovely poem Thomas, although, it isn't a tanka.

"Crisp and devastating" are exactly the right words for this poem. Well done!

I know a Katie.

An entire life in five lines, or second-half of a life. Crisp and devastating.
