Do the double tanka with me! Two stanzas, five lines each, 5-7-5-7-7 syllable form each stanza (see my "Bonkers" for something of an example). Tag me, if you please! #doubletanka

Death

Look at me Monsieur.

Please do not avert your eyes.

Please do not fear me.

Please ignore the silver glint

Of this dangerous weapon.

This knife will surely

Be the cause of your murder.

There's no chance for you.

Your blood will be spilled by me.

Today will be your deathday.
