Colleen’s Weekly Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge Dignity & Success

Whispers behind hands

No self-respecting woman

Would be so brazen

For she found some happiness

Used her body for profit

    What a great story, Sis. I love the first line, but the last line makes the whole thing make sense. Well done! ❤
