Thank you, grant!
Katray's introduction to the tanka has also aroused my interest in an ancient and revered poetic form of which I was previously unaware. I will have to try my hand at that, as well.

Whether or not these fit a form, MHenry, they are successful in their own right. Little gems!

Boomerangs - SOFT and HURT
Here are two Boomerangs for your amusement.
I learned of them here (with a few beautiful examples by the inventor and author).
I think this form is suitable for many of the fine poets here in RZ.

Basically, the first and last word must rhyme and there must be some coming back (I am not sure I did this, or even understand it).
These are my first attempts, written the day I learned of this new poetic form.
SOFT)
Soft lips,
will you still kiss me
after I've defiled
our loft?
HURT)
Hurt
the day you left me
alone with the scent
of your shirt
