Survivor

by Treischel

SURVIVOR



TV's Survivor,
reality on the beach
challenge for favor
to Outplay, Outwit, Outlast
where the votes can come real fast

join an alliance
or be quickly voted out
win immunity
to turn poor fortunes about
strategy can create doubt

devious choices
team losing at challenges
can blindside your play
there are so many voices
that really get in your way

watch for the merges
when alliances break up
careful where you roam
never believe what your told
or find out you're going home

Survivor is one of my favorite programs. I watched yesterday's show and now I was moved to write this poem.

This poem follows the Tanka format of 5-7-5-7-7 syllable count, but not all the Tanka rules. Its actually a suite of 4 Tanka formatted stanzas. I added some rhymye.
