The Poet's Vitriolic Pen (Tanka)

Here's another excerpt from the forthcoming book titled POEMS YOU SEE BEFORE YOU DIE, a collaboration between George Koehler and Ray Rubeque.

The following tanka of mine is part of a haiga, the corresponding illustration (not shown here) was created by Ray Rubeque.

There'll be no painting
With words anymore from me:
Where arts are prone to
Be deep-fried in hate, only
A flame-thrower tongue will do
