Tanka Poem

[WCSGarland]

Kneel, repent, obey
your mother warned about this?


okay...I need help from the group!

Kneel, repent, obey
your mother warned about this?
I need to be spanked.

 

[AlinaX]

who needs a retinal scan
when a handprint unlocks all

Kneel, repent, obey
your mother warned about this?
I need to be spanked.
who needs a retinal scan
when a handprint unlocks all

 

[Jocelyn_Nicole_Sawyer]

but...like...I'll still be needing your crypto wallet IDs....

 

[WCSGarland]

I read dirty words,
What? You call me a smut slut?
Strip me. Expose me.
Abuse me all you want with
sexy tales, and let me gasp.

 

[AlinaX]

the cat has nine tales
I've read them start to finish
beneath the moonlight
that caterwauling you hear?
a bad girl being punished

 

[EllenMore]

the sheets lay crumpled,
pushed to the foot of the bed
I lie watching you
reluctantly put on clothes
as the birds begin to chirp

you rise to depart
but I turn away my lips
for my kiss welcomes.
I do not wish it to console,
to make parting easier

now I cannot sleep
I am too ill with longing
I lie feverish
awaiting the cool evening
of your body in the dark

Three stanzas instead of one? I've been trying to stick to one based upon the OP description. Is this a punishable offense Joss?

 

[AlinaX]

my mouth is holy
the one true receptacle
for a man’s essence
I'm bound in steel that denies
the pleasures I once preferred

 

[Booboobear84]

I met David Sedaris -- love him! Naked...Me Talk Pretty One Day

Ok I’m jealous

 

[Booboobear84]

poetry isn't chess...

But chess is poetry

 

[Booboobear84]

Confessions of a would-be sinner

I shot the sheriff,
But I didn’t kill poetry,
I shot the sheriff,
But I flew on Tanka’s wings
To the tumult of the clouds.

Those first two lines are the best

 

[Booboobear84]

I haven’t got the chops but I appreciate those of you who do.

 

[AlinaX]

I haven’t got the
chops but I appreciate
those of you who do
three lines out of five ain't bad
don't be afraid, have a go!

ordinarily it could be... but @EllenMore def has mad skills & we'll want her to keep sharing.

@AlinaX @Voboy @Angeline @WCSGarland @NivKumar @Razzyricho @EllenMore

Might need to change name of the thread to "Joss & The Magnificent Seven!"
that kind of has a nice ring to it-- The Magnificent Seven... I might need to copyright that

 

[Jocelyn_Nicole_Sawyer]

oh, but @Booboobear84 -- we've also saved you a spot... membership is just one Tanka

Yes, you could try it,
That might be an uphill fight,
Close quarter battle,
To argue Public Domain,
Beyond the seven of us.

 

[Voboy]

Giving back a tithe
To richest college around...
Irony abounds
When those who teach the smartest
Are so easily gaslit.


Sorry to be topical, but I just can't resist.

Consider them as three separate but related poems.

 

[EllenMore]

my long tangled hair
is still wet from the shower
you lie on my bed
as I wrap these thick tresses
tight around your eager core

 

[Jocelyn_Nicole_Sawyer]

like, I don't even think I have an eager core that she could wrap something around... but I just melted

 

[Jocelyn_Nicole_Sawyer]

like butter...

 

[WCSGarland]

I wouldn't ordinarily have said anything, but NivKumar was taken to task for syllable count and spankings were mentioned. I just wanted to make sure anybody who wanted a spanking had an opportunity for a spanking.

I'm sure you have an eager core, and if her hair is long enough, your core could be wrapped.
