Tanka Poem

[WCSGarland]

The C in my name stands for crazy

 

[WCSGarland]

And the S stands for stinking drunk...

 

[WCSGarland]

And just like that.... I'm no longer a part-time tosspot... it's fulltime tosspot

 

[Jocelyn_Nicole_Sawyer]

Middle name: crazy
WCSGarland
still, we all love him
what he has contributed
to our humble Tanka thread

what's a tosspot?

 

[WCSGarland]

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tosspot
drunkard, sot

 

[Jocelyn_Nicole_Sawyer]

what does the W stand for?

 

[WCSGarland]

It was at one time the middle initial of my name, Wayne... but it's open for whomever wants to supply a definition... wanton, willful, wicked, whatever...

 

[Jocelyn_Nicole_Sawyer]

Welcome to the stage
WCSGarland!
Well-endowed then some
He's crazy and a tosspot
stuff those dollars in g-string

 

[Jocelyn_Nicole_Sawyer]

anyone actually been to like a male strip show?

 

[WCSGarland]

follow me my crowd,
while I do the full Monty,
I will dance a jig,
while the whole crowd roundly boos,
and pelts me carcass with fruit.

 

[Booboobear84]

On my knees I will
Worship her my very great thrill
Tongue placed just right
To lick her for her delight
My passion reaches great heights

 

[WCSGarland]

If you leave this place,
With a smile upon your face,
My job will be done,
For I am a happy drunk,
And all I want is your laugh.

 

[Jocelyn_Nicole_Sawyer]

y'all are my happy place

don't count syllables... I'm just saying... each & every one of you -- means more to me than you could ever know...

Hang in there

voyage to the stars
from a dystopian Earth
to an alien space
when pleasure is your business
you won't lack for customers

(because I've been thinking of my favourite story, Ship's Whore)

[Jocelyn_Nicole_Sawyer]

okay...so 2nd line is "Candy Kane's are for licking"

everyone give that some thought and reply back soonest with your idea!

sorry @Candy_Kane54 but you're our newest member and we have an initiation of sorts around here... it's a tradition, really... where we all offer up a tanka as tribute then you get to judge our efforts!

The first line is (for my edification) - I'll give it a read?

 

[Jocelyn_Nicole_Sawyer]

no, unrelated... I'll give it a read refers to Alina's "Ship's Whore" story...

for our tribute tanka... you get to write 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th lines

 

[WCSGarland]

Ah...

 

[WCSGarland]

Her face as I said,
Candy Kane's are for licking,
Flushed so brightly red,
Don't know where it's been she said,
Keep that licker in your head.

 

[AlinaX]

a poet loves words
Candy Kane's are for licking
her syllables sweet
like dry tears on a soft cheek
blessed are the lips that kiss her

 

[NivKay]

Through the gloom we went,
Through bramble and bush and loam,
And reaching the place,
We sank knee-deep in darkness,
You opened, blossomed, craving.
