Alone in her room
she dons mascara and rouge
hoping to allure.
What secrets may be hidden
underneath the painted smile.

Great Tanka, Bob. I like the mystery in this tanka. I did get your email but ask that you change a couple of things for me. I can’t change the submission for so we had to substitute the instructions: Name = The name you want to show up in the recap
Name = (By default your name comes up) Delete your name and type in “Title of Poem & Type of Poem” Ex: “Starlight,” A Haiku
Website = (By default your main blog address comes up) Delete that address and copy, cut, & paste the Https:// link to your poetry post from your blog
Message = Your Poem
Thanks for putting up with me. ❤
