Tongue tied behind your pearl teeth,
I plucked roses from the wreath
of flowers wrapped round my arms
now wilted much like your charms.
Tonight I’m combining the Daily Post Prompt Betrayed and dVerse Thursday night ‘Meet The Bar’ prompt to write a Tanaga.
A Tanaga is a poem with four lines per stanza, and seven syllables per line. This is my attempt at writing a short Tanaga to get myself back in the poetry mood before April arrives with all the madness of NaPoWriMo.

Good work, a Tanaga, I had never heard of, it really put the cat amongst the pigeons so to speak. Its a really great poem, i have none! So i can bathe in yours
I like the “teeth” and “wreath” rhymes. Good description using the wreath to bind the arms with wilted roses that one has to pick away. Nice tanaga!
I like the ‘teeth’ and ‘wreath’ rhymes as well. I thought your last line was great!
The wilted roses tell it all…. very nice!

The promise of an ever can wither just like this… I like the mood of your tanaga.
Sounds like a great comeback. It would go nicely inside a small greeting card to the betrayer
Wowza, Carol, you did the tanaga just right!

Tanaga that! Well done. Charms melted….jilted….but sometimes realization and new self comes on strong.
