The Meaning

The title drew me in as it was very simple, like most of Stephen King's novels lol. I like it. The message, as already stated is beautifully delivered. Also, I agree that the first letters should not be capitalized because it ruins the flow a bit and it is distracting, esp for a reader like me. At first read, I thought 'eventually' did not have the adequate amount of syllables needed for this form, but when read in a certain way, it has five syllables. Still, that part is a little disturbing for me, but it works. Overall, I really enjoyed reading this tanka. The subtle rhyme of 'fleeting' and 'meaning' gave this poem a kick. Great job. Five from me :) Keep writing

Short, but precious.
Your lines speak such a volume of words. :)
5/5

Nice haiku man. i myself suck at writing these so the fact that you can do it at all is impressive to me. great job

All i can say is this is a masterpiece. its short and simple but straight to the point and it hits hard. This was great:) 5/5 no doubt

I think this is a great tanka, definitely has a wise message here. The only thing I could suggest doing is not making each line a capitalized letter. With capitalizing each line it makes it feel like the line before should've had a different stop, and for me breaks up the flow a little bit.

Other than that, I think this is absolutely fantastic :)
