Tanka 13: Pretend To Sleep Poem by Lillian Susan Thomas
Tanka 13: Pretend To Sleep
I pretend to sleep
as dawn splits the dark in two
and you rise to dress
under the covers I watch:
my last glimpse of your body
This tanka poses one question: is that last glimpse of the body loved or loathed? The image of the second line is lovely, and in so few syllables you create so much intrigue. An admirable tanka. S :)
