A form of literature that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic qualities of language.
Puzzle sodoku
Per guide of nine three five clue
My initials knew
His on upper left hand too
Six, six, six sky healing crew
‘Bowing’ buddy flies
Bids more fuel lack of supplies
Stuck with bed flu cries
Liberals fed us two lies
with blissful feud in the skies
Two more samples of tanka in monorhyme.

It’s never too late!
No emergency too great
Those who could relate
Government sponsored berate
No one’s going to die: Wait!
Two calls from work
‘Sickos’; ‘Ex-Ball’ berserk
My unconcerned smirk
Not having a back-up clerk
Good via management lurk
Old fart A/R boss
Second witch from ‘Oh Yeah!’ toss
Fun department floss
Like ‘See-Aye-Aye’ plugs to gloss
Prepare for the lay-off loss
‘Aura’ and ‘Hard Core’
Will continue their survey
Which key to portray
As keepers for their display
Titles, pay, H/R essay
I am not a tool!
Don’t play me for a fool!
Wall flower jewel.
To grin and bear a thick drool
Till the day I make brown stool.

Family and Rant:
Early morning wake
Got lost to have a fast break
At the seven make
Filled out more forms for their sake
Waiting room my home and stake
Construction site stink
Stared out windows without blink
Prayed and wondered think
About my unified link
And how they coincide sync
Re-hydrated too much
Sat and exercised and such
Tired to keep in touch
Drank coffee and tea as crutch
Ate ‘Paw’s turkey sandwich clutch
Family and People:
Elder lady Bond
With strong accent blue eyed blonde
Knows how to respond
Wheel chaired ‘Maw’ to car beyond
Bid our farewells to her fond
‘Onion,’ girl came by
Clowned lazy girl’s gardened shy
‘Onion’s’ morn call, ‘Hi.’
Girl washed our dishes good-bye.
‘Maw’s words to boy soothe imply.
Faith:
Imaged as a God
Incroyable how I forgot
I could never rot
Through lot, with dot and in spot
in the unity of Grok

Pretending in vain
Oh God! Here we go again
Relative kinds feign
Smiles and hugs without rich lane
Fake pictures of love no pain
Angered mind to show
Old granny’s untrimmed nails grow.
Hair smelled of pee flow
Pictures evidenced to sow
December two years ago
Eldest daughter smile
Happy to greet in old Paw style
Granny looked pissed bile
Sitting there bored not hostile
Two siblings chat for awhile
Went back to car Maw
Waiting with our calm
Expect nonsense bomb
from Uncle Dead’s verbal prom
and his smoking balm
Four more samples of tanka in monorhyme.

Leave the golden throne.
Curious from that lone zone
Fear exists alone.
Run away frontier.
Across the flat plain yet near
Hate exists with fear.
Create a day break.
A special someone and mate
Love overrules hate.
Push then leads to shove.
Another flowering dove
Start over with love.
Find time to restart.
With some knowledge to impart
Leave behind your heart.

It’s their rightful land
Illegal to come in as planned
Workers on demand
Caretakers of soil and sand
Cleaned air, fresh water expand
Criminals to chop
Allow the good and kind cop
Open honest shop
Drugs and alcohol must stop!
Proud to mop or teach on top.
No fear to loose jobs.
Any kind than lazy slobs
Honesty: no mobs
Humble yet not being snobs
Learn to share, report who robs

Nature and Rant:
Early morning rise
At six with wide opened eyes
To greet and good byes
No traffic with clear blue skies
By seven at work, quite wise
Family and Work:
Crap at work again
Queried if happy explain
Stressed angers contain
No support to her complain
No assurance from this strain
Eleven half past
Tried to finish old work fast
Emailed long lunch cast
Drove Mom waited behind glass
Longs, food, bank to six at last
Nature and Rant:
Homeward slowly drive
Lone cloud east mountain strives
and good feeling lives
Dumb sealed search warrant deprives
Recycling plant survives
Family and Rant:
Summoned to make bed
Worked with parents little said
And rosary dread
Dinner served until well fed
Good evening my sleepy head

Work:
Mindless compliance
Hard-working word reliance
Narrative science
Meetings with my defiance
Flick the Boogered alliance
Whiteness covered rains
Pelted twelfth floor window panes
Pissed off and in pain
Still stuck with these fool-filled vains
Automatic lay-off feigns
Nature:
Saucers and dumbbells
Evening clouds, blue skies, fresh smells
More refreshing spells
After stuck with these fools’ sells
Cumulous cloud tells
Family:
‘Paw’ re-hydrated brain
More color to his face gain
Water – don’t abstain.
Reduces the aches and pain
Dry coughs less but more to drain
People:
Man hated project
Governed by burning Bush wrecked
Spitting lies infect
Helpless on closer inspect
River bank of disrespect
More lies from abroad
His very being she clawed
Fist clenched with tight jawed
Moral and legally flawed
Projects left in stupor awed
Family and Nature:
Plucked the red threads
Whistled as parakeet sheds
Bobbing of their heads
‘Maw’s cotton sweat pants of dreads
Pulled like tire treads

Family:
‘Maw’ listened and sat
To deep sleep of snoring brat
Supine on bed flat
Didn’t hear the pitter pat
On marooned gold, parlor matt.
Nature:
Morning white chem-trails
Works and sounds and sandwich sales
Wispy clouds prevails!
Purple clouds, long whales
Medium gray blue of sails
Faith and Work:
Had a déjà vu
At the P.M two five two
With the cash apps crew
Of getting to know her too
Formers of the ‘Oh Yeah!’ zoo.
Family:
‘Paw’ reports his drawl
‘Onion’s last minute phone call
No help to recall
Tongue stitches at two – a stall
To teach, ‘NO!’ and with no fall
Flynn:
My tummy aching:
Two days sleeping but waking
Rumbling and shaking
Ham, chicken, sausage taking
Three, anti-site pills breaking.

There is a place called the safe-housed box.
You’ll be wrapped in your swaddling cloth.
You’ll be rocked back to deep sleep
and no more sound from your peep.
You’ll have no more need to feel deep pain
or the loneliness for being you.
You’ll be counting lots sheep
and forgetting how to weep.
The milky draught will make you alive —
to start all over like someone new.
The price to pay is too steep
for those who take the first leap.

How dare you ‘fund’-a-‘mentalist’!
To behead us female writers!
Must we send the fire fighters?
Your barbarian ways have me pissed.
Your ‘ragged’ minds are old and blind
and leave your monkey shines behind!
The Truth is not in naming names.
Your ‘fat-was’ not meant to be here.
You are NOT ALLOWED to cause fear!
On behalf of our Mother Earth,
please allow Her voice to be heard.
This is my message from HIS word.
A poem of four, three-lined stanzas of abb, cdd, eff, ghh pattern.

Faith and Family:
Alarm knocks downstairs
and wall pop sounded with cares —
Eight A.M. day-mares?
No Mom in sight who declares!
Parents at church with prayers!
After my full dress,
I went downstairs to access –
Nothing but plain air I guess!
Sent my thank you – fast express
The Invisibles transgress.
Work:
‘Sickos’ to buy us
Per this morning’s headline press.
Two meetings impress
Upon self-fulfilled progress
which speculate with success.
I’ll count on more stress
And work hard to be the best.
Can’t afford to dress
And don’t care for I profess.
I walked around in distress.
Nature and Rant:
After the meeting
Took one pic of cloud fleeting.
Called for one greeting
At home a dinner sitting
By nine P.M. completing.
