Elitist Snobs (A Tanka)*
Fictitious kingdom
Men and women as false gods
Attitude for days
Sewage stench of arrogance
Proverbial stick up a s s!!!
* This tanka was greatly inspired by many people I've known throughout my life.
A Tanka is a Japenese form of short poetry similar to a haiku or a senryu in terms of construction (5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second line, and 5 syllables in the third line). A Tanka, however, has 2 extra lines (7 syllables in each of the 4th and 5th lines). A Tanka can be either about nature or humanity.
