TANKA TUESDAY...SYNONYMS

 

TANKA

you were my dear friend

always so reassuring

during those sad years

you never gave me a pledge

to stay and i thought you would

Tanka Tuesday

 happy halloween

if you like witches and ghosts

spooks are not for me

gladly not part of my life

and not part of my culture

Tankas

many years ago

cute little girls wore dresses

ribbons in their hair

it's been half a century

since she's worn a pretty dress

technology rules

our world has changed forever

we have lost a lot

tech advantage at a cost

maybe the costs are too high

we learnt french at school

it was a good fun lesson

with madame mercier

it would have been more fun if

she had taught us words like this

a box of darkness

an unwanted gift for sure

you are wrong mary

this person was a toxin

and not worthy of your love

Whats Going On...Ghosts

SHADORMA

thankfully

ghosts do not feature

in my life

hard enough

to endure life's misfortunes

don't need spooks as well

 

Tuesday Tanka

 CINQUAIN

clever
is the woman
who writes a kimo poem
waves to her from across the sea
hi there

SHADORMA

tea for two 
in a warm study
sipping tea
they ate cake
enjoying these afternoons
in the cold winter

Friday Writings # 150

 how high the moon?

not high enough

to keep earthlings  away

we have seen what you have done

to earth

bugger off

fly me to the moon

no way

keep away

you have created

so much space junk 

enough already

leave the moon alone

allow the moon to enjoy

peace and harmony

the other planets also

stop destroying everything

Tanka Tuesday

 

dreary rhetoric
from a senile idiot
crass politician
a big blob orange pumpkin
sadly reminds me of him

can't possibly guess
who this weird cerebrally
challenged fraudster is
well someone tried to shoot him
missed and now he's a hero
