from Therese -- Great that you invented the "tankette." I'm impressed that you got both "gypsy" and "jericho" to work together in one poem! I admire you for giving the tanka a try, even if you think you're not a tanka kind of poet!
Some of us have unusual erogenous zones. If you write on my leg...I'm yours!
ReplyDeleteBring that gam over here, girly. Well done.
ReplyDeleteEveryone will be 'legging it' over, to write.
