  • 20070408-Winged Threads

    Greetings little wings
    On my computer monitor
    Open my left hand
    Inhale you into my right nose
    Been picking shiny white threads

    Another attempt at tanka poetry.

  • 20070408-Old Lune

    Keep me alive now
    Take a bow
    To kata of Tao

    Inside your small minds
    Watered kinds
    Fleeting thoughts unwinds

    An eternal sleep
    Old moon peep
    Jumping mountain sheep

    Over high fences
    Armed senses
    Leap of faith senses

    Leave troubles behind
    Chained ball grind
    Friendly bonds that bind

    Troubles and worries
    Love hurries
    Amidst the flurries

    Together again
    On the train
    Freedom with the rain

    All my messages
    Lost ages
    Times for presages

    Eight samples of ‘lune’ poetry in monorhyme.

    Nature:

    White clouds overcast
    Cold windy breeze blowing blast
    Bending trees like mast
    Sometimes slow and sometimes fast
    Light blue skies behind clouds vast

    Family:

    Easter lilies cuts
    Wield large knife gardening nuts
    Out front of house ruts
    Small vases of sacred huts
    Fifth on dining table but

    Maw frying fish cakes
    Wheelchair crying with knees aches
    Old people mistakes
    Cutting toe nails and corn flakes
    After Paw’s leaf blower rakes

    Crying Old Maw’s clean
    Activities lack routine
    Lotion, iodine, latrine
    Dependant on others’ preen
    Daughter said, ‘To deal with change!’ mean

    Massage aching hands
    Crying Old Maw understands
    None at all to help plans
    Stretching the tight muscles strands
    Remove some pain; so she stands.

    Five more samples of tanka in monorhyme.

  • 20040707-Dream Journal

    Decision downstairs
    Walking from outside the daylight
    Myself with others
    Cram inside fake lighted cage
    One man contacting outside world

    To my left hand side
    Wearing light on helmet head
    People to my front
    Underground and cannot leave
    Orange, yellow, brown awoke.

    Two more samples at tanka poetry.

    Sunny blue sky day
    Nothing left for me to say.
    Hip hip hip hurray!

    Another haiku poetry.

  • 20070406-Freed Brats

    How dare you mock me!
    Your reality movie
    Read fools’ boring plea
    Believe in life; set us free
    Stupid sheeple on T.V.

    Confessions coerced
    From her bloody angered thirst
    By her hatred cursed
    To serve lovingly as first
    Always ready for the worst

    Using women-kind?!?
    From propaganda behind
    Violence maligned
    Fulfill karma intertwined.
    Release the children confined!

    Not a blasphemy
    to mock Christ in spirit free.
    Scratching off dog fleas
    Communion with Christ: a key.
    No scars from bloody backs see

    Four more samples of tanka in monorhyme.

    Fireman's Angel
    An image showing an ice sculpture of a fireman and angle taken by Dalene Racicot © 2002 from Porcupine, Ontario, Canada.

    Fireman’s Angel
    Leaning to his right farewell
    A remembrance dwell
    Ice sculpture by ‘darling’ belle
    A nine won one spell

    Eyes and heads ‘pulled’ down
    Exotic weapons around
    Small talk of the town
    Melt steel girders by ACE drown
    Turn to dust a reddish brown

    To void or to null;
    Just a thought — a ‘miracle!’
    To smile at death’s skull
    And fight storms eventful lull
    Golden fire, ball of gull

    Three more samples of tanka in monorhyme.

    Work:

    Working hard again
    Credit card goddess campaign
    Try to ascertain
    Fun boss, bad mouthing refrain
    Apologies entertain.

    Family and Rant:

    ‘Maw’s P/T time guide
    Exercise pulley we tried
    Run upstairs to hide.
    Blog about small world with pride
    Dare not hurt myself outside.

    All things come to pass.
    Burp and fart my stinky gas
    Dreaded card lass
    From my mouth and out my ass
    My perfection to surpass

    Email work lunch sends
    Sushi and saki with ‘friends’
    Resume depends
    New skill sets she recommends

    Campai attitude depends

  • 20070403-Daily Grind

    Who the hell do you think you are?
    You are now my bleeding lone star.
    I’ve chopped your head off in my mind.
    Government sponsored felon kind.

    Read of my ‘anger’ from afar
    and about your oily black tar.
    You took the fall for your mankind.
    Sick and tired to jail remind.

    You taxed OUR patience for your crimes
    and for taking our hard earned dimes.
    Finders, keepers, losers, weepers!
    Time to meet the grimmest reapers!

    Three poems of dark in eight syllables and aabb pattern.

    Family:

    ‘Paw’s fried rice and eggs
    Tastier while ‘Maw’ rests legs
    Empty stomach begs
    Saved from starving without kegs
    Daughter happy as fat pegs

    Nature:

    Smell metallic air
    Hurry into gray car mare
    Early morning swear
    Little clouds, light blue skies fair
    Metallic air stuck in hair

    Work:

    More crap of the day
    On Friday the thirteen way
    Smelly fish away
    Credit card desk disarray
    Felonious creep drafts delay

    VP of Finance
    Making noise as the tools dance
    Auditors in trance
    New manager won’t take chance
    I was right all along stance!

    Nature and Work:

    Lots of wispiness
    As the afternoon progress
    Noone to impress
    Amidst all the dumb work stress
    Lateral with no success

    Faith and Rant:

    Early evening sleep
    Cannot quit thanks to fat creep
    Silence of the peep
    Community service weep
    Not good news for PJ sheep

  • 20070402-Which Ward

    ‘Forward Ever, Backward Never’
    Campaign slogan — unknown clever
    Headless body — heartless sever
    People always starving fever
    Eying on their OIL endeavor

    Another political poem regarding an election of five-lined stanza in eight syllables in monorhyme. (The opposition won, by the way).
