In their own words

This is my very first tanka poem, I am in love with the simplicity of the style.

I was unaware that these are to be untitled as I originally entitled this " The Fire Inside " but I do enjoy the anonymity of the words now that I know.

Keep that stove door shutLet the embers dance insideSteel heat machineRefined victory in ashTrue triumph in destruction
