#Haiku Happenings #7: Trent’s latest #tanka for Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge!
Please perform it, Sam
She can take it, so can I
You know what I mean
Here is looking at you, kid
We will always have Paris
–
We assume the roles
Act the parts we think are real
To hide our true selves
But sometimes I think I know
The real you behind those eyes

OK, a two fer one deal. Play some of the old songs. Play it, Sam. Hmm, but I can’t say “Play”, now can I? OK, so I did something a little more serious. Maybe.
These was written for Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge. The key words today were “Play” and “Guess”. Following her suggestion, I didn’t use the words, I used only synonyms.
