I'm so afraid of this kind of commitment that I don't even want to title these posts as napowrimo.

Today's poem is an epic fail -- supposed to be a tanka.  Yeah, I'm gonna have to work on that form a bit, perhaps about a different topic.  I couldn't get "the turn" today.  And I couldn't get the syllabic proportions today.  And that's ok for today.

Today, Alan Summers wants us to write poems about “humor in love,” and he has a specific form in mind!  Write and capture humorous incidents related to love in a 5-line love poem called a tanka.

kibble’s gone
burgers in wrap, jaws drop, pause
raised-brow disbelief – for us?
still laugh at their shock, stop, gulp
dogs are so easy to love
