Pale face man appeared
Thick bottle eye glasses peered
Long, white wavy beard
Dark blue jacket and pants geared
White sneakers, not smelly but weird
Communion holy
Old man suddenly on knee
Priest in front of me
Center aisle got up with glee
Church people praying could see
Two strange samples of creepy tanka in monorhyme.

Go to the light lone moth in flight!
Shiny and bright all pure and white
Being alright without a slight
Oh, blessed sight to one invite!
What a delight! Place of sprite.
Greetings polite, playing soul wight
Dancing excite, passions ignite
Loving full height, hugging so tight
Some thoughts not right, a tad bit trite
One cannot fight this urge of plight.
Maybe at night in dreams of fright
Bulb burning rite, heat takes a bite
‘Babel’ to cite, dead authors write
Lifetimes recite, pen in hand sleight
Free from contrite, knowing despite
With second sight, love’s writ of right
A ‘life after dark’ poem of four stanzas with eight syllables in internal and end rhymes.

Take a long good look:-
If you cook, you’re in my book!
By hook or by crook
All the crannies in the nook
Dare not brook or rook this schnook
Another tasty sample of gobbledygook tanka of monorhyme.
