Just haven't found the time to post this
yet. I have actually enjoyed the angry tanka collection so much. Thank you,
Susan Burch, for coming up with Angry Tanka as a special feature section of
Atlas Poetica. I'm so honored to have my tanka included among 25 poems you have chosen.
you found me
after five failed marriages
why is there a pause
when I ask you
if I am your best wife
after five failed marriages
why is there a pause
when I ask you
if I am your best wife
For those of you that haven't read it yet,
here's the link. I have so many favorites, but these are my top five:
after his sulking
after his insults
after his tantrums
I accidentally spill bleach
on his shirt
Margaret Chula, USA
unsettled argument
I serve the soup
neglecting
to warn him
how hot it is
Sylvia Forges-Ryan, USA
storm still brewing
her voice
growing more defiant
with each "fine"
Shloka Shankar, India
that time
you called me
by her name
after all these years
the burning in my belly
Debbie Strange, Canada

the fingernail cut
you left deep
within the tomato’s skin . . .
so, this is how you want
to end our one-month fling
