Buahahahahahahahahahaha

You won, missy, hahaha.

*coughs*

ahum, okay I am better now :P

That's a nice tanka you have here. Too bad the trend of this site is too stick firmly to the syllable count, for I think this could be tightened a bit. Well actually I only dislike this "behold," because it seems unnecessary and truly a filler (not talking about articles here!).

I would also move the first dash to the second line:
"Drunken goblins bathe
in a jacuzzi of mud -"
^ This way the poem will be clearly divided in two parts: bathing goblins at one side, eating/drinking goblins at the other side.
I would also change "Drunken" to "drunken" just because it is usually preferred in haiku/tanka/senryu.

This is something new from you, simple vocabulary and mythological, melikes. :)

And yup, I won!

I found this absolutely wonderful :-) I had to smile as I read it.
Idk it was just the best little tanka I have ever read. Full of magic and though a bit gross side thinking of the poor fairies I love it
lol

Myryn, you never fail to make me ponder about your poems! That was sooo magical. I loved this Tanka, for sure, nominated the next week, I'd love to see it pierced on the front page! :)

The title is reallly catchy. Well-done. Love you.

This is the kind of poem that puts a smile on the reader face. It's a feel good , cute write. Wtg my queen

Your work always hits perfection limits.
