Here's another poem as part of my poem-a-day effort for April.
I was inspired to write a Tanka by Mike Hopkins. A Tanka is a Japanese form of five lines structured with five, seven, five, seven and seven syllables respectively.
The subject matter was sparked by Robert's gorgeous photo for today, which you can see over here.
Tanka
Bug trawling gecko
you stick to the ribbed window
like glue, unmoving;
pale pink skin, legs splayed, feasting
at your local fast food joint.
