Tanka–Little Masturbations

Posted on March 30, 2015 by Jim Stewart

Poems of myself
rarely find their way to sky.
Heroes stuck in clay,
feet marching, lonely in place,
like little masturbations.

boat n moon

bear n feet

      It came to me as I was falling asleep, thinking about the difference between an ego-based poem and the real thing. I woke up enough to write it down. So, I still had it this morning.
