October Yardwork Tanka

This one isn’t in #92Tanka but I still really like the form. There’s a lot of room to dance in any form as long as you understand what the “rules” are really for.

By the way, don’t forget to order your copy of 92 TANKA now.

yardwork tanka

yes: October & th grass
it grows along w/ my hopes
th house’ll be lost
in honeysuckle dashed
as I ponder th damn mower
