Storm, Ink, Love

I tasted the storm
feeding your tongue and my ink
(pure tinder and flint),
screaming, “Let’s spark words of love
so hot, they curl hatred’s toes.”

- for Poets and Storytellers United--Friday Writings #94: Storm, Ink, Love.

  1. Nice Tanka, Magaly. I like reading how the prompter wrote for her/his prompt. I also showed my reaction to the storm, even shorter than yours, in a Senryu.
    Thanks for hosting, I wish I had more time lately, between medical appointments and catching up on "things", I did take the time to write. I was going to post a poem I was kind of proud of but then added my three liner.

  8. Hatred could do with a little toe curling action, if only to give it some perspective.
