Tanka

Pity Bin Laded,
They couldn’t find him anywhere
Got his chauffeur though;
No more limos for BL
Hope he has got solid boots

Hi Oskar. I take it you meant Bin Laden? I tought this was quite brave of you. Many poets tend to express their political views via their poetry and you have certainly caught a topic worthy of discussion here! As far as the layout is concerned, you have caught it well and you have stuck to the prerequisite 31 syllable which makes a tanka - albeit in a slightly rebellious way - 5, 8, 5, 6, 7 instead of the usual 5, 7, 5, 7, 7 - but that is exactly what makes this form of writing so exciting and challenging. I hope we'll be seeing more of your work.
