This is a traditional Tanka poem with its perfect syllable counts.
The poet makes a point of the devils that can do anything, anywhere, anytime.
Those devils do not bother rationality, morality, ethics and they only know desire fulfilment at any cost.
This is a clear poem with the message clearly conveyed.

Yes, this Tanka conveys the nature of devils as they can do, wish whatever they like, so true is the word expressed here so softly, colourfully and in a true poetic order of this genre and it is much liked for its simple attitude.

I hope I'm grasping what you are trying to portray, and that is desire leads to greed, and that can never be satisfied no matter how much

This was one of my favorites of your tankas so far, but unfortunately the third stanza has six syllables. It's unfortunate too because that's my favorite line in the poem. Sometimes, I hate forms, but if you're going to use it, I guess you have to stick to it. This poem seemed alive though. Thanks for sharing. One Tooth :)"

Well crafted and impactful message.So few words,simple and free,yet the strength of your poem comes from your own creativety.A thundering monument to the corruptions of greed,deceptions and manipulations.

This is another nice Tanka, truly devils do not bother morals and they keep on doing whatever they wish anytime, anywhere, anyhow. Kudos to the gifted poet.

This makes more sense to me. We all want more of the good things, and more keeps us going. It's not unnatural, but what is too much. And when do you stop giving? Good questions. Interesting thoughts. Thanks for sharing.
