Comment from Katie Mae Dead

Excellent

What a great tanka!
I had to look up mensch. You might want to put a definition in your author's notes.

You final 2 7-syllable lines are exceptional ...
these downpourings remind men

they await their fate from the clouds.

Your transition line is very effective and provides smooth transition to the 2 other lines.
Best wishes in the contest!
