Hi there, I know that you for some reason don't want this poem to be recognised as tanka, but I think it is. I will also admit that I don't quite understand what it is that you want say. Still I give you a five for content. Ulla:)))

This poetry is relevant to all times! I loved this line "Fake fables fade fast". I found it a bit difficult to understand initially but your footnotes really helped. Well thought-out and thanks for sharing!

Although I have no idea what your words mean here; wisdom wins and scores every time on earth as we can't deny that it rules and sometimes we are not always wise in our actions, love Dolly x

Many humans believe they are wise, but true wisdom can only come from God. If it's not God shared wisdom it's not true wisdom and will come to fail you. Again, only God has wisdom. Thank you for sharing.

-Nice image for your poem.
-You have written a good tanka
with a good topic and syllable count.
-Effective imagery in the first two lines.
-A good pivot line about the silent sun.
-Good concluding lines about
"timeless wisdom," and alliteration
in the last line.

I had to read and reread to get the idea of this poem, but I think I finally got it. There is mostly fake news out there today. We are seeing how fake news falls fast and fades away.

Another classic from your good self.
dark salute false light
shade truth, soar humdrum, hourly
sun shines silent still;
timeless wisdom glows whole earth
fake fables fade, fall, faint fast

Take care Pete
