Pygmy Wings {{tanka}}

by .K.i.T.t.Y.   Apr 6, 2007


The white finch flutters,
His elegant, pygmy wings
Ready to take flight,
To soar across his barred home
Ensnared in mankind's soft grasp.

    I love Tanka's! Yay!

    Anyways.
    I liked this one; it said a lot for me in just a few stanzas. Bright and well written.
    And I adore the ending line; it made the poem what it is.

    This was a unique piece which I found to be quite creative to tell you the truth. The style you picked to write this in was really well suited and nothing seemed to be out of place what so ever. Well done~mel

    Nice idea. I think it could've been longer, you could've done a second tanka, but considering the small amout of space you had to work with, you did great.
