Lenders - A Tanka Poem by Sandra Martyres

Lenders - A Tanka

Rating: 5.0


Lenders chasing dues
Are like hungry lions in wait
Swooping on cash flows
Just as the preying creatures
Bite into their victim's flesh

you have said it yourself sandra...only we dont identify the disguised lion when it welcomes us in the beginning and also the sweet calls we get for the various cards...allthis would suit a borrower who decides to cheat in the beginning itself...for those honest borrowers who are allured to borrow more and who get stuck...this is a trap
