Aesthetically Spun (Tanka)

by Meme   Feb 23, 2012


Mystifying moves,
masterly orb-waving your
twisted webs of love.
A taste of your venom-glazed
strings, I'm eternally preyed.

    Now this is a wonderful tanka!!!! the words used made me visualize being spun and wrapped in a web....seeing this person with a lizard tongue trying to bite me!! you managed to take the reader on a wild visualization in a very small form... and that is nice.. very nice... I'm sure the message is very deep...and I thank you for sharing this poem with us... awesome poem!!

    Meme,
    The title is so captivating, I came across it and thought "I have to read this" but was on my phone, now I have to say,
    You are one heck of a writer, Tanka's are always so strong because of the shortness of the piece and the emotions conveyed if done well

    This was expertly done, and such a moving piece, dark but just amazingly capticating, smooth flow and awesome ending

    I love this piece

    Love

    Wow, Meme, is dark and moving... I absolutely loved it. In a short structured poem, you said so much with a few words. I think that's what makes tankas so meaningful.

    I really love your choice of words, I think they were perfectly chosen and made the poem so captivating. And wow, the part about tasting the venom-glazed strings left me in awe.

    I love your love poems, but this dark tanka shows how you are so great in all genres!

    Love it.. great job hon!

    MEME !

    Tell me about original poetry ha~this is awesome piece my Celine Dion! Not only do you sing and charm, but you also write and impress.

    I loved how this was as deep as your voice, it's very well penned, with thoughtfulness.
    I love that its a poem to think of its meaning and to be read from between the lines.

    this was a very beautiful expression:
    twisted webs of love..SO true. makes me also
    think about tripping, falling, bout tricks etc
    stuff related to love somehow..
    and as if you were talking about someones ability to play it well, making games and win it.

    someone who's always wining the battles with you, and you're stuck.
    Trust me, we are only stuck, when we enjoy it !

    Well done, hats off
