A form of literature that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic qualities of language.
I exist that is all you need to know.
My thoughts travel as the winds blow.
Writer’s block is my only foe.
Devine inspirations bestow
Like falling snow, Upon my brow
With Truth aglow, By Love’s hello.
A sestet poem with eight syllables in monorhyme.

Singularity, nothingness
To oblivion, point regress
Alpha Unity within us
To Infinity, our progress
Serving darkness, Omega stress
News sensation, hardliner press
Loving freely, divinely bless
Fighting battles, defining us
Two poems of two-lined stanzas with eight syllables in internal and monorhyme.

Five inch pecker santana
Two snacks of manna

Create your forum
Toot your own horn; beat your drum
Welcome smart and dumb
Either get out or belong
Here in this box — troll or chum
Twiddling your thumb
Peachy happy; chewing glum
Open door or mum
Knowledge picking, sharing crumb
One for all or all from some
Two boring samples while working tanka in monorhyme.

God can’t always hear!
Prayers you hold heartfelt dear
Anger, hate and fear
Envious to killing tear
Cain-not, un-Abel revere
Brotherly love peer
Helpful hands decisions steer
Or work hard career?
Feed me now! Not oil or beer.
Worldwide starvation to clear.
Responsible gear
Men in charge to disappear
Accountable cheer
Gnashing of golden teeth sneer
Spreading of garlic breath ‘shmear’
God is near and here.
Within immediate sphere
Loving volunteer
Outward some-thing to revere
Inward no-thing so sincere
Four selfless samples of boogered tanka in monorhyme.

Atheist
Selfish little pods!
Deny existence of gods
Or other divine squads
Small minds of nothingness façades!
Zero is some-times at odds.
Agnostic
Infinitely blind
Impossible, undefined
Up to a point mind
Ki power of the Son find
Where time and space intertwined
Infidel
In the hollow wood
None-believers covered hood
Some misunderstood.
Most owls hoot, with big eyes, could
Love not hate or fear – All good.
Skeptic
All doctrines and creeds
Eyes and ears of doubting bleeds.
Brain-washing succeeds
Skip Old to New ticks proceeds
Give well a note Truthful deeds
Four similar samples of valid tankas in monorhyme.

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.

Do not be afraid of their spell
Red faces, false places like hell
Dark, gray spaces sulphuric smell
Anger and hate egos rebel.
To stomp at not knowing full well?
Undefined infinity swell
God is One eternally tell
Knowing all — too well, free-will fell
State of mind in physical shell
Questions unanswered by outside cell
God seeks answers by inward dwell
‘Duh’ eyes of south bay flying belle
A poem of three serendipitous stanzas with eight syllables in monorhyme.

Kill a ball with an iron stick?
Light my candle of angered wick!
Wrong person to foolishly pick
Government agents should not trick.
Bad associations — my tick
From Pete and ‘JB’ to buck-teeth hick
Dare to play with my money! Quick!
Oil business import – export slick
Off with your heads, ‘ragging’ prick!
Stoning to your heads with my brick
Cook your goose well for my tongue lick
Lose your weight from girth so thick!
Fat ass bankers greedy to kick
Hand signals — middle fingers flick
Our patience tired and sick
For pissing this high clearance chick!
Four dark stanzas of ‘Not a funny joke, Fat Ass!’ poem with eight syllables in monorhyme.

Some God(s) exists in my small mind
and keeps changing to us remind.
Follow Light with Darkness behind
or keep searching and maybe find.
Where stars and planets are defined
from lower to higher assigned —
God is nothing until refined.
We are nothing until combined.
Unity keeps us all entwined
until awakenings unwind
from anthropic views that confined
while inside the box as designed.
Our realities are combined
with various truths intertwined.
Intentions are good or maligned.
Some do nothing while others grind.
Love vibrating, always be kind
Fear believing, faithfully blind
Hate decreasing, falling behind
Water flowing, deepening bind
Five spatial stanzas with eight syllables in mindful monorhyme.
