walking meditation
putting one foot in front
of the other
I pass
the sobriety test
Dance into the World, 2020
John Quinnett
Commentary: John's tanka builds line by line to an unexpected yet thematically significant and visually funny turn in the last line, which effectively shifts the focus from walking meditation (L1) to the close call on getting charged for driving drunk (L5). Written in the spirit of kyoka, John's tanka is a good example of tanka that surprise readers with the turn of their concluding lines.
