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.”

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.
ReplyDeleteThanks 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.

ReplyDeleteWho could resist "words of love so hot they curl hatred's toes"? Nice!
ReplyDeleteHatred could do with a little toe curling action, if only to give it some perspective.

ReplyDeleteMy good wishes.
