  • 20070421-Daily Diary

    Gray clouds morning cold
    Yesterday and today hold
    As both days unfold
    Fluffy clouds against gray mold
    Rain away illusions sold

    One more tanka in monorhyme.

    Wrapped by his sea breeze
    Rolled around as people sees
    Along the shore tease
    His narrow ships and low keys
    Bumpy tail through my hands squeeze

    One more tanka in monorhyme.

  • 20070419-Scares Backed

    For the bullish bears
    Offers to investors shares
    Tumble pull on hairs
    Credits and foreign repairs
    Banking with deficits tears

    Men of charge d’affaires
    Kings among their wares
    Diamond rings and golden stairs
    Oil contractors VISA fares
    Embassies of world affairs

    Zionists pigs glares
    Bloggers’ truth tagged unawares
    Wickedness and snares
    Mindless slaves pay billing airs
    Servitudes through love affairs

    Three more samples of tanka in monorhyme.

  • 20070419-Holy Home

    Rescue them from death
    Secure us from fear’s darkness
    Cure one from hatred
    Shun me from Omega’s sin
    Lone secret and immortal

    With a Will and True Light
    Before the break of dawn’s flight
    Rest of peas a night
    Square sun spins faster with might
    Snip of dead branches of plight

    Two more samples of tanka in monorhyme.

    20070418-Running Blond
    White shirt, blue shorts slight
    Running blond from left to right
    Skinny arms and leg white
    Wavy hair and blue eyes sight
    Look at me to garage flight

    20070418-Con-Sider Pledge
    Retired ‘Mar’ screams
    Can’t afford diocese teams
    Santa Clara schemes
    Twenty-six-hundred kay dreams
    ‘Cat Hole Lick’ lawsuits, it seems.

    Two more evening samples of tanka in monorhyme.

  • 20070417-Angry Reeoww

    Cowards sorry too
    Hide behind trees and Bush grew
    Protection of pooh!
    Order no shooting on que
    Amidst the dying accrue

    CIA of ‘Zoo’
    Mind of Asian victim screw
    Thirty-three lives through
    Program to kill his debut
    Suicide and shooting drew

    On darkest moon new!
    Wake up fools and get a clue!
    ‘Right to bear arms’ glue!
    Always crying never knew.
    Bright stupid candles adieu.

    God’s anger to brew
    Made of lives in bloody stew
    Delay overdue
    Dark cahoots and fat ass goo
    Silent sorry through my mew

    Four more samples of dark tanka in monorhyme.

  • 20070415-Dream Journal

    An afternoon ‘nod’
    About a homeless man-god
    Lights, sounds and cops squad

    Ten fingers tips to door
    Glowing and to him implore
    Quiet through my snore

    My bright lit place
    Two renters in a small space
    Someone’s saving face

    Left and no good-bye
    Down the hill; left U-turn cry
    Fifth from left lanes vie
    Struggling uphill defy
    Back at home and still no guy

    Open the closet
    Small words on metallic fret
    Sense he’s fine no sweat
    Bright golden box sad regret
    White crepe paper orgone let

    Three haiku and two tanka in monorhyme.

  • 20070414-Bygone Days

    Angelic assigned
    Warriors of our mankind
    Wake the flying blind
    Subconscious and peas of mind
    Illusions that leave behind

    Everyone to find
    Toss at turns with open mind
    Cellphone towers grind
    Crying crystals by design
    Boost, heal, clear to the maligned

    Astrals intertwined
    Unseen etheric remind
    Orbs fly unconfined
    Energy release not bind
    Coven-ant honors consigned

    Three more samples of tanka in monorhyme.

  • 20070414-Daily Diary

    Nature:
    Awaken to gray
    Cloudy puffy rain display
    Effects on the prey
    Wash yesterday’s trailing spray
    From air or soil down to bay

    Rant:
    Filling forms dismay
    Extortionist tax to pay
    Hard working 8K
    More debt by credit card way
    Cash advances put away

    People:
    BratBoy gone astray
    Assume bike to the head lay
    Twice from hobby play
    Angry heart breaks no more pray
    Short term memory won’t say

    BratBoy’s house today
    Door bell rang no sun shine ray
    Commando game play
    Not smiling but sad decay
    Wave our smile goodbye cliché

    Rant:
    Post office today
    Closed but mailed forms to obey
    Voluntary tray
    Services by slaves grand buffet
    Tuesday ahead puppets play

    People:
    Vacuum pick up day
    Sales pitch John of the South Bay
    Miele branding sway
    Perfect! Light-weight, lime green gay
    Italiano field day

    Faith, Rant and Nature:
    Hot dog lunch this day
    Homeless man umbrella lay
    Open dark array
    Tummy hurts but pain away
    Kid’s cone one chocolate stay

    No rosary pray
    Slept two hours pain allay
    Blue skies and sylphs they
    Mass boring eye closed convey
    Sinus congestion green hay

    Family and Rant:
    Leftover to cache
    Chinese dinner more fat weigh
    Arrange fake bouquet
    Upstairs to blog my essay
    Maw louder, stronger each day

    Nine more samples of tanka in monorhyme.

  • 20070414-Red Pill

    Nothing left to loose
    Forget memory excuse
    Steal my heart produce
    A third one in blessed truce
    Melting of the snowy sluice

    Tired mind recluse
    Time running from blogging juice
    Where for art thou Zeus?
    Rescue us from mothered noose
    By fading thoughts of disuse

    Two more samples of tanka in monorhyme.

  • 20070413-Two Chemtrails

    Image source: IMG_2779 taken on 4/13/2007 1:26:18 PM via Canon PowerShot A610 camera.
    My photos showing one old and persistent to the left and one new and thinner to the right.

    Freaking triple trails!
    Streaking their white clouds like snails
    Crisscrossing assails
    Many layers of contrails
    Cover light blue skies by bails

    Steak burrito males
    Flush red cheeks of young lad wails
    Smiled at voiceless fails
    Flirts nearby while cleaning fails
    Laugh at pics — double cross sails

    X mark the spot nails
    Over three towers — travails
    Sticky sight entails
    Leaving skies in white wash veils
    Sylphs work overtime prevails!

    Superstitious sales
    ‘Friday the 13′ details
    Symbolic tall tales
    Eagle flag and lizard tails
    Justice balancing her scales

    Four more samples of tanka in monorhyme.

  • 20070413-Eden Speech

    An Eden eye left
    Garden of den rags bereft
    Adam in the cleft
    Eve-ning of fish fillet deft
    Adonai’s A-B-O theft

    Another attempt at tanka poetry in monorhyme.
