Tell him I apologise,
And we can be friends.
a friend very dear
Now I don't
Why is that, you ask?
Not being honest.

You must say
what's on your mind, or
friendship dies
Only the harsh truth
can create good trust
---
In the light
darkness fail to drown
your courage
Remember always
lit candles of trust
---
When in doubt
Ask bluntly for truth
Receive it
You can tell in words
what is true and not
---
Should wisdom
fail to convince you
use the knife
You can't be cheated
by those without breath
---
Fortunate
That wisdom always
do prevail
Fortunate indeed
for life is precious
---
So did I
use the knife or not?
No I won't
See, in wisdom lies
art of forgiveness
---
And like I
said in previous
tanka, the
wisdom always win
Wisdom is mighty
---
And my cat
has what appears to
be a brow
though it's not really
isn't that strange though
---
How my mind
travels from my friend
to my cat
oh, that's right, I know
the cat is my friend
---
And though she
disappeared for days
she's now back
and my trust in her
is fully restored
---
The truth is
I don't even have
a cat, no
I just thought it would
make these tankas good
---
Clearly it
didn't, so I'll just
shut up now
Live in peace and joy
And enjoy your cat
