Misunderstanding sometimes kills (Tanka)

by Khalid M Darwish   Nov 20, 2012


Told himself, gazing
at that poor coming to him
"Again, every time
those swines asking for money"
"Sir, you have dropped your wallet!!"

    I agree with MT... I love the imagery... Indeed, when we misunderstand a person, we unnecessarily think ill about them but when it turns out the other way, we feel ashamed and the piece speaks the feeling so well... Awesome tanka:)

    Khalid- What a powerful message you have displayed here... often times, we think someone is going to do or say something in a negative way and in return, its the opposite... powerful message here... the tanka is spot on... and I really love this piece!!
