Tanka Time

the assignment from my friend who writes tankas

words to use : labyrinth / clue / button

here are mine :

Labyrinth

labyrinth of the mind
amazing what you will find
unexpected lies
truth hidden in the corners
scenarios of your life



Clue

she is quite naive
has not got a single clue
will she awaken ?
fresh discoveries appear
hey ! see what is going on ?


Button

Say ! Button your lip
Must you tell all your secrets ?
Dont be such a drip
An open mouth shuts the mind
A knowing smile says it all

and one to grow on :

Beer

have you had enough ?
after we poach the salmon
pour it in the sink
three point two beer fills you up
a cold shower will feel swell
