A Room of My Own: Bitter Sting Tanka

Two Hundred and Thirty-Ninth Entry, Coronavirus Poetry Diary

the bitter sting 

of late night black coffee ...

quarantined

for weeks without thoughts

of touching myself

Grand Re-Opening

bikini-clad mannequins

watch a masked man

No Mask banners

high above a phalanx

of protesters ...

a masked teen holds his hand

in an L shape near his face 

FYI: The hand gesture, widely used by teens,  in Ls 4&5 means the Loser.
