In like a lion
You drove the serpent away;
Safety, now, in the land.
Yet there lingers the fear
The memory will come back.
Is this right? I wanted the memory to be a wife-beater, rapist, or being shot-I don't know if too obtuse. All help neded. Thank you

Not sure that I understand the author's note... but I really like the Tanka. It gave the sense of the legend of St. Patrick driving the serpents off the island. Maybe not such a good thing... ? I sense a double-sided meaning here. NO, it's not obtuse at all. Enlighten me... lol
