A #Tanka for a Month with Keats: Day Nine #haiku #poetry

‘Troy passed away in one high funeral gleam,

And Usna’s children died.’ W.B. Yeats

Paris’ arrow

Achilles’ bloodied tendon

preceding his fall

Conor’s sword fells Unis’

sons and Diedre’s shattered heart

For Jane Dougherty’s A Month with Yeats—Day 9

Death isn’t what it was. Another passionate poem, Frank.
