The somonka is a Japanese form.
It’s basically two tankas.

A breezy morning
Monstrous crowd looking
for fun
Hey little fella!
Enjoyed yesterday’s outing?
Ripening harvests trampled?
Great fun big daddy!
What about today? More fun?
Yes, we will shoot you!
You are hairy, all messed up
Fun jumping through water indeed
ReplyDeletearen't they magnificent animals so playful
ReplyDeleteA fun write - though those "Ripening harvests trampled" - h-m-m-m. Elephants will be elephants, I suppose. And thanks for the Somonka information - Good to know!
ReplyDeleteSad about the ripening harvests being trampled though.....
ReplyDeleteI suppose that what we would consider a catastrophe, i.e. the trampling of harvests, can be fun for elephants.
ReplyDeletethat elephants are on a rampage in a cornfield is a sure indication of their food shortage in forests....quite alarming...nice lines Hank :)
ReplyDeleteNicely written and a great take on the prompt, the wonder of creation and the joy of animals.
ReplyDeleteWait. Shoot with water? Or turn the missed harvest into stake?
ReplyDeleteWe have enough trouble living with each other let alone the wild creatures of the world. Sigh of despair!
ReplyDeleteExcellent take on the prompt and an interesting format.
ReplyDeleteA game...but not a good hunt...water pistols are fairer
ReplyDeleteWater brings out the fun in everyone
ReplyDeleteI like the spirit of the elephants you bring out here. Interesting format as well.
