Cheat not on fair rules – 

Give all every chance to shine;

Toe the starting line.

-o0o-

Toe the starting line – 

Get set and ready to go;

When the horn doth blow.

-o0o-

When the horn doth blow – 

All launch forth and must believe;

No one will deceive.

-o0o-

No one will deceive – 

Nor assume any for fools;

Cheat not on fair rules.

(Shi Rensa Haiku)

Poem prompted by Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday Challenge. This week’s is Poet’s Choice. Click through on the link if you, too, would like to join in.

Whist this is well out of date – it was inspired by Ronovan’s weekly haiku prompt Toe and Line.
