Comment from Thomas Bowling
Asian - Small, but packed with flavor.
Surinam - Firey hot. Used primarily in Sichuan cooking.
Smokybrown - A welcome addition to barbeque sauces.
Australian - Used to flavor shrimp on the barbee.
Brown - Related to the Smokybrown, but milder.
FL Woods - adds a woodsy note. An acquired taste.
Dime - Slightly metallic. For more taste add a quarter.

Which reminds me of when my aunt dried to pick up a dime on the sidewalk. She looked dismayed when she touched it. I asked her if it was a Bitcoin. She said no, it was a Spitcoin.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Oh my goodness Bill! You don't have the Tenerife one's here? They are the biggest and they fly! There's one on google feeding on an apple, take a look, you will be amazed at the size, beats this line up hands down! Anyway, back to your write! I loved it so much, The League Of Roaches lining up to take the keys to their suites in the cockroach hotel no doubt! Pooling resources for protection offerings to Terminix and Orkin, he he he, hilarious Bill, I'm doubled up! Wish I had a six, you hit the cockroach on the head with this one! Love Dolly x

Thanks, Dolly, for the terrific review. Bill

Love it! League of Roaches.
Think their offering will work? Not as long as those companies make more money taking out the roaches.
This was hilarious!

Comment from Ogden
Your poem is food for thought, Bill. I'm of the opinion there is trouble ahead for those exotic creepy crawlers.
A dime probably is worth a fortune to the cockroaches, considering the likely expenses involved in getting the coin to the World Bank.
I don't know how their species survived all those millennia, if these are typical specimens. They don't have the brains they were born with. They thought they could corrupt Terminix and Orkin with so little capital? Those mega-companies are run by smart cookies, who almost certainly will tell them to bug off.
I hope you didn't lend them that dime. if so, you'll never see it again.

I thought they were good for it. I could have bought a fifth of a postage stamp with that dime.

Well, I think you learned a valuable lesson. You'll probably never be tempted to do business with coalitions again.
Comment from Lloyd T. Okoko
This is an excellent tanka poem with its unique 5-7-5-7-7 syllable count and five line structure that reminisces the beggarly but often impoverished Cockroach World 8.
The work highlights their world bank prompted rendezvous that are fraught with calls for reparations occasioned by odd misdeeds of Terminix and Orkin.
The work earns its texture through the use the effective use of metaphor.
Excellent work! Keep the flag flying!

Comment from Dopeless Hopefiend
This is great. I am not sure if I am reading into this too much, but the depth of these five lines and the ways you can interpret it seem endless, and to me, that's one of the main facets of excellent writing.
Keep it up!

Trump?spresidency has revealed the unvarnished world and all players are finally showing their actual selves. Republicans who preach against deficit spending, when they don?t need to barter and their base is either rich or stupid, spend deeply. People who couldn?t get a job as a dog catcher are in the White House. Truth is now a device used by dummies. Lies are now referred to as point of view.
