A form of literature that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic qualities of language.
Crispy clear blue skies
Beautiful puffy white clouds
Blessings in disguise
Praises sent through cool breezes
Singing of birds through the trees
A small tanka about the pleasant weather we’ve been having in the Bay Area for the whole of summer 2007 with some gray clouds last weekend in the morning giving way to clear blue skies — ahh!

Women of Masked Deceptions!
Mothers! Lift up your veils and be glad!
Daughters! Reveal your inner beauties!
Warriors defend the truth!
Master your hearts and fight back!
Demand your rights to be seen!

And then retire

He’s under fire

The more they delay
to bring the troops home.
The more they betray
to our broken hearts.
The more they won’t pay
to us you must owe.

Okay, okay! My sweetie pie!
Not on the side, please do not die!
Never without you by my side
But always with and as your bride
I felt your pain, within my heart
Forever yours, my kiss impart
Forgive my thoughts, undying love
I wear you well, fits like a glove
Umm yeah: A poem (of two stanzas with eight syllables in aabb pattern) about my belated ‘thoughts’ last month of him while reading in bed prior to ‘nodding’ off to sleep.

I cried and cried
The flashing lights
Dancing people
Flashing themselves
As dancing tools
I slip and slide
My tears rolled down
Upon my cheeks
Selling themselves
Unto ‘fodder’
A war torn place
My fears scrolled, drowned
Remembering
Nothing, really.
The sad and pain
Suffer and struggle
The play acting
Dismembering
I tried and tried
To make sense
Of nonsense and
Sensing nothing
But emptiness.
I died and lied
To me, myself
and I. As I
sigh my last breath
into the wind
I am carried
forever gone…
Umm, nyah: Not too sure about rambling my thoughts in free-verse. Prefer structure — then again strictness is quite stifling. Based on the disturbing opening act of ‘Miss Saigon’ I watched up in San Francisco say around 2001.

Terrorists of nightmares
tempt those who take a drink.
Taste more froth than their blood.
Try their cup full of hate.
Test their fearful resolve.
Threatens security.
Twisting dreams for freedom.
Third attempt at Pleiades poem.

I’m on the ‘Edge’ of wondering,
If I had made a blundering.
About posting a funny link
Of angry boy, loud screaming sync
Guess my account — still Inactive
No more ‘JBugle’ — was attractive
Guess that ‘Zen’ says: ‘You shall not dwell!’
His community has taught me well.
Umm yeah: A short poem (of two, four-lined stanzas with eight syllables in aabb pattern) and of not being able to access my account after trying to update to my new Yahoo! email some two weeks ago. Not fair for ‘picking’ on me! Guess I don’t belong in their matrix box after all and might as well modify my ‘Blogroll’ — blah!

A shortened parody based on the lyrics of ‘You Are My Sunshine’.
Another light beer
A late night creeping
I screamed and yelled at your cooking charms.
When I smelled smoke here
I felt forsaken
As you wrung the bread and fried.
Chorus:
You are my bunny —
My honey bunny
You keep me hopping
When guys are ‘gay’.
You never show ‘queer’
At rabbit steak stew.
Please don’t make a bunny buffet.
Author’s note: Oh boy! No offense to any particular ‘group’ but really this is about the horror of not knowing how to ‘cook’ for your guy (wink). Actually love the ‘official’ song sung by Maw from my childhood during the days when Paw was out to sea for nine months at a time.

Another parody based on the lyrics of ‘You Are The Sunshine Of My Life’.
You are the Vessel of my Light
Supplying Love by leaps and bound
You are my Keeper that won’t lie
Forever Blocking out the Dark
I know our worlds will stop this sinning
Though I’ve cried for You my happy tears
And when my thought of Love is pending
My mind will always wish away Your fears
You are the Vessel of my Light
Supplying Love by leaps and bound
You are my Keeper that won’t lie
Forever Blocking out the Dark
You must have been my One and Only!
Because You welcomed my ‘Thank You’!
And I know that You’re with me again!
My Love for You is like a dream come true!
You are the Vessel of my Light
Supplying Love by leaps and bound
You are my Keeper that won’t lie
Forever Blocking out the Dark
[Background]
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Holy! Holy!

Oh, Atlanteans
Ancient Atlantis
Reincarnated
Many times over
Eight hundred thousand
Years after the fall
By crystal gurus
Powerfully advanced
Quite knowledgeable
Ill-will, malice – none
Truly arrogant!
Boosting turns them blue
A poem of two, six-lined stanzas with five syllables in free-verse.
