A ‘Magnetic Poem’ tanka
Wanna try? Click here.
why elaborate?
frantic whispers screaming stop
we like want need our
picture of a peachy life
as he beats her bloody raw
Notes
- This poem was inspired by The Paltry Sum’s blog post: ‘Marriage is Murder’;
- For this poem, I decided to make use of the ‘Original Set’ on the Magnetic Poetry website;
- I once again opted for a tanka, rather than a haiku;
- The extra two lines (14 syllables) provide a greater challenge, as well as a larger canvas;
- I searched for and found the featured image only after I had written the entire tanka.

Dear David,
Thank you. The humanity which was taken away from me was given back in part by your poem. For that gift I can only offer my thanks and appreciation.

Be happy, friend! It is a good thing to get it out into the light and feel like I am not completely thrown out of society and the world around me. I feel a little closer, a little less thrown out alone and that is precious.
I’m glad. And glad that you have the strength to take such an attitude.
BRINGS shudders to my body and soul.. sooo sad these despicable acts!
💖
It’s literally evil.
