A literal technique ‘opposite’ to prose (e.g. everyday speech).
Cons problem fusion
More lies brought on reaction
Mixing solution
Noisy ‘Babel’ allusion
Human-ease in collusion
Thoughts form diffusion
The ‘new way’ resolution
Loving infusion
Forgive our revolution
Forget nothing conclusion
Two more self-fulfilling samples of tanka in monorhyme.

We step back away from ourselves
To contemplate and know our truths
Lies melting gold of buddy’s path
Taste the cheese sandwich of wrath
To laugh always, forgiving too
Clothes not fitting; bellies sticking
Outward expansion expression
Tossing out the old with the new
I’m still myself but never knew.
Choosing always without a doubt
Our syllables won’t go away!
My voice is eternally yours.
Internal rhyming river spout
Heartbeat rhythm– an endless route.
Loving fully this is no lie!
Three poems of five stanzas in eight syllables.

Have helpless ants won?
What is this spinning square sun?
Is God and Man One?
Shall I go outside and have fun
or ‘come back’ as remain as none?
Do believers gloss?
Is fate a flipping coin toss?
Are we our own boss?
Where is the will with no cross?
Is war without faith a loss?
Questions are bizarre!
Answers are close yet so far.
Truths are not on par.
Light-bringer and morning star –
Lucifer in constant raw.
Ankh – Tau cross, life soul
With God’s will, there’s Yahweh’s goal
Ra – hawk head, god Sol
Within and without as whole
Love, compassion – mixing bowl

Slowly waking cold
Banking homeless woman old
No cash eyeballs rolled
Pay high smelly gas price bold
Triple venti mocha sold
Fifteen hundred walk
Twice around the working block
Wispy sylphs’ flock
Greetings sending wind sheer shock
Two guys walking greetings rock
Sleepiness tonight
Gray clouds high winds mighty flight
Parakeets sleep slight
‘Maw’s aching muscle pain plight
‘Paw’ as usual polite
Top noodles not right
Chocolate ice cream bar right
Pray rosary blight
Mumbling without excite
Itchy eyes restful calm night
Four more mundane samples of tanka in monorhyme.

Branding on cow hide
His airhead’s ring finger pride
Shining as I eyed
My fake smile not true but wide
A new battle from inside
One year I have died.
Helpfulness from me denied
Hidden hands are tied.
Symbolic sign time divide
Door shut tight to my outside
Angered thoughts collide.
Blood green bile cast aside
Hatred too reside
Far from heart but close beside
New sister on the far side.
Three dark samples of tanka in monorhyme.

Early morning sweat
Fan blowing as cooling debt
Toss and turning fret
How much hotter could this get?
Cooler later as my bet
Not so hot or wet
Wisps among one trail of jet
Over house we met
Morning of glory wispy net
Transmuting trails of threat
Lunch of the triplet
Veggie chicken soup rice set
Noon appetite whet
Warm spring breeze to us beset
Rest on couch watch t.v. set
Cleaning of the pet
Warm water washing upset
Sit still birds regret
Hot sun and clear blue skies let
Paper towel silhouette
Green thumb of duet
Transplant cactus brown bowls set
Potting soil to pet
Sweet pea shrub in brown reset
Not bad for heads of brunette

Ego in Jesus
Man made image in God – us
‘Fund-a-mentals’ fuss
Words written turned into pus
‘Babel’ thumpers in old bus
Open minds discuss
Playing without toys of puss
Or threaten a cuss
Being true and not a wuss
Less sensitive to disgusts
Christ always nonpluss
Questions with answers: a plus.
Compassion won’t rusts
Truth complies and so adjusts
Love always without distrusts

Son of God and Man
First sound ‘Om’ for groupie fan
God-daughter green Anne!
True light being of Diane
Conquering might D’arc Joanne
Lady Lovely clan
First of His flowering plan
Thoughts form as we scan
Faster than light truth began
Neither time nor space or span

Zero tolerance
Against any given chance
Blind lead the blind glance
Conquer and divide freedom lance
Free will defers one stance
Born to human race
Stuck in bio-carbon case
Look at my sad face
Conscious bi-pedal with grace
Virtual memories chase
Enough religion
Believe in faith or the gun
Worship the square sun
From many Gods to the none
Find your box, our will be done.
No more family
Leave the hives no buzzing bee
No respect old tree
Overpopulate debris
Same marriage by lock and key
Bank on one nation
Shake sound foundation
Wars then salvation
For peas and good vibration
Submit by dislocation

Synthetic fears Gro
Not a Miracle: Earth’s foe
Sue small Terra dough?
Organic plant food bestow
Better truth re-Cycle show
Nature’s old ways know
Of yellow or green color glow
Pretty flowers flow
Learn to share market! You owe
Mother Earth than bigger bro!

Mammals-People:
Dead dolphin-safe food?
Whalers raping oceans crude
‘Purposes’ subdued
Netters profiting delude
Clubbing ‘fur’ baby seal nude

Tuna sandwich screwed
Stylish sushi made from brood!
Worming ways intrude
Shark fin soup, the rest exclude
Bloody fishermen in feud

Grilled shrimp butter skewed
Lobster tails in boiling stewed

Crab legs in defensive rood
Like lice and spiders eschewed

Clam and oyster mood
Slimy escargot snails spewed
Mussels filter spewed
Ornamental scallops viewed
Aba-lone décor seclude
Mollusk-Soft:
Small but mindful shrewd
Curious, large eyeful cued
Playful squid face mask glued
Colorful cuttlefish dude
Chop-sticked octopus tattooed

Bigger not better!
Fatter not healthy sweater
Man made laws letter
Fraud, lies, deceitful debtor
Slave work controlled wage setter
Not larger than life
Falling harder with more strife
Downward point of knife
What shares go around with rife
Sound the horns of shrill tone fife
Hear the smaller voice
Little or nothing rejoice
Many paths by choice
Bigger brothers help to hoist
Just my thought like streaming Joyce
