RE: The Charnel House - Tanka Poem

whip feral fire fingers -

The alliteration her is beautiful written could literarily feel the unison. The mood is definitely saddening really. You summed everything in just a short but a captivating write.

Cheers m8. I spent quite a bit of time on this poem and it did go through 6 or 7 drafts if memory serves.

It is such a sad state of affairs to me that we continue to destroy our planet and let increasingly extreme politicians into positions of power who are more interested in the acquisition of wealth and power by polarizing opinions, than actually attempting to sort out the major issues that will cause the extinction of both us and our animal cousins.

I guess that deep sadness at the blindness of humanity as a whole bleeds from the verse in this poem.

I'm glad you enjoyed it m8 :)
