Vainglory (Tanka)

Rating: 5.0


Ego is climbing
on integrity treading—
wounds in pyramid
at peak in illusive Light
Man's soul withers in Darkness

Truely envisioned. Ego is vainglory and we should be away from this. It is a marvellous tanka I like most.. Thanks for sharing. ....10

Because I loved this poem so much, I had to write a poem inspired by a few of my thoughts on the verse, a topic and images which always intrigues me. Many of Mihaela's poems inspire me to write or simply enjoy and for this I thank you :) Soul Lifelong Lesson Transformations Man's soul is a lifelong lesson learning carrying us through transformation of flesh carrying us through transformation of feelings emotions mind stirring evolutions Copyright © Terence George Craddock Inspired by the poem 'Vainglory' by Mihaela Pirjol. Dedicated to Mihaela Pirjol.

How the mighty live in vainglory and how the mighty then fall. Good Tanka
