Emotions Naked – A Tanka

Emotions naked

Crumpled like dirty laundry

Piled on the floor

Waiting to be gathered up

Washed, folded and put away

    I have some if those currently in a basket needed to be taken downstairs ;). I love this metaphor.

    You seem to be more comfortable with these short forms. I prefer your treatment of them to the longer “Vulture” posted later. Well done. Dave
