I would like to hear your opinions. Sometimes I do this while at a traffic stop, trying to count the syllables while tapping on the steering wheel until I would hear a loud honk from behind (LOL), it's green light!
EngrVV

Strider you're really a tyrant of words...I wouldn't mind if you share some more; you're not breaking any rule. Three is the minimum, but you can write as many as you want because 5 of these is equivalent to most of our poems.
Thank you very much for joining and for your cool comment. Trust me, this is getting addictive for me. This is more challenging than traditional tanka
(my opinion only).

(my opinion only).Any takers for: LIMBS, SPERM, SEMEN, GREED, PRIDE, SLOTH, WRATH, etc. in acrostic-tanka format?
Here's my take:
LIMBS
Legs of yours so hot
Intertwined with mine aroused
My desires for you
Bosoms filled with warm nectars
Sucking them with ecstasy

Lover
Layers of tough skin
Over his poor bleeding heart
Veins crave the pulse beat
Ever falling without her touch
Rain shadows his view blinding
Heart
Healing segments seal
Each passing moment they share
And words on lips kiss
Reminding them it is real
Taking breaths of Patchouli
Agony
Aching within her
Grabs at her heart and squeezes
Opening fresh wounds
Netting her emotional
Yearning tied with no escape
Break
Blown into the wind
Running with the lost river
Escaping his grasp
Anticipation fading
Knees give way upon his truth
Truth
Tastes of bitterness
Rakes at her insides screaming
Undiluted pain
Tears every cell piece by piece
Hot burning hell lives within
Layers of tough skin
Over his poor bleeding heart
Veins crave the pulse beat
Ever falling without her touch
Rain shadows his view blinding
Heart
Healing segments seal
Each passing moment they share
And words on lips kiss
Reminding them it is real
Taking breaths of Patchouli
Agony
Aching within her
Grabs at her heart and squeezes
Opening fresh wounds
Netting her emotional
Yearning tied with no escape
Break
Blown into the wind
Running with the lost river
Escaping his grasp
Anticipation fading
Knees give way upon his truth
Truth
Tastes of bitterness
Rakes at her insides screaming
Undiluted pain
Tears every cell piece by piece
Hot burning hell lives within

She's madly in love
Pleasing her he slides in deep
Energy released
Receptive she screams, "Yes!"
Moments savored forever

Moments savored forever
I was born alone
Death will always come for you
Evil he has known
As his hate spews forth he shows
Life will always misguide you
I thought that would be easy, ended up rewriting it a million times so it made some kind of sense!
Did I get it right?

LIMBO
Lewd, sharp words once cut
Into her heart like a knife
Miraculously
Boundless apathy replaced
Obsessive love with loathing
You're doing fine WordLover2...thanks for your entry; wanna try some more?

Tractors and truckers
On my job site are digging
Non stop through the day
Kindly work for no pay check
All of them work for no pay
They always finish
Residential, commercial
Under bid project
Constructions their thing
Keeping money no object
Forever on site
Even stay around the clock
Very committed
Every worker no sleep
Rumble rumble vroom beep beep
