Sip The Tip-Top Tea Of Sentiment (Waka Form)

Rating: 4.5


In Babylonian
Hanging gardens, true feelings
Poured into cup so
Sip the tea of sentiment
As the poet pulls at our heart
Strings and heartache brings, ouch, ow!

The lovely lyric
Suffers so do the readers!
Forget about the
Writer - oh! Stay a while, shed
A tear for this man who ran
Everywhere yet trapped in rattrap!
