Form for Red Flags

Warnings, red,
I never gave well.
Sinking mind.
Purple dead.
Running fast back to orange fields,
crying in mad sins.

    Effective how you used color in this one, Carl.

    I like the color in this, too. This was one of the One Stop forms, no? I really like how the short line length in the middle gives a harshness to those lines especially, pulls them out and into focus. Bravo.

      Yes, this is Shadorma – 3-5-3-3-7-5. I enjoyed it. I like how it enforces this sense of economy with the words. I think I prefer Tanka though. Thank you for your comment – It is encouraging.
