stifled by karma
she tacks hard to the starboard
failing to obey
she staked future on a wish
withered her labyrinth of days
Fractal created with Apophysis.

Tanka for 3WW
ThomG, moderator of 3WordWednesday, offers these words today: obey, wither, karma
stifled by karma
she tacks hard to the starboard
failing to obey
she staked future on a wish
withered her labyrinth of days
Fractal created with Apophysis.

I love those two opening lines. I wish I'd come up them I like them that much!
Great job. As usual!
NEatly done. liked the lines, especially tacking hard to starboard.
Brief and true. How much control do we really have, in the end?
Every line is perfect here.
lovely words and so meaningful....!
I love the tanka - love the phrase 'stifled by karma' and also the last line, that is great!
The fractal looks like two eyes staring at me:) which is amazing
sorry for using the bad word..but karma can come biting you when you expect it the least..
As usual brilliant
science fiction meets reality - perhaps if wishes can come true, we wouldn't be bind to failure or karma
Loved that last line!
flames of karma
opening lines caught me !
Oh, I love the doom, the stifling, tacking, failing, staking and withering! Five tragic lines packed so well with tangible hardship, not a word wasted. Delicious. As usual : )
I like the sense of tragedy here, but it's not maudlin. We simply make certain choices sometimes, seeking a way out of that stifling karma. Nice fractal, too!
isn't it all a struggle with karma! I love the rich colors in the fractal
I love the language - it's imagery and movement - beautifully paired with the fractal.
