Tanka

Spinning Carousel

Space burning Time like wildfires

Infinite breakdowns

Building tomorrows future

As History end today

Haiku - of the living dead II

Zombies dance stiff leg

Shaking their rotting asses

To and undead beat

Who says the walking dead can’t party down?  Maybe they are just looking for a night on the town…

Haiku - of the living dead

The dead are rising

Rotting coffins giving birth

Children of the fall

Tanka

Heart beating War Drum

Like my ancestors before

Tonight I am Red

Called to the fields of Battle

I answer the call of Blood

Tanka - Prairie Dogs

The black dog and I

Wander across the prairie

We two are the same

Both of questionable blood

Finding fortune where we can

It’s funny, sometimes, where you find your muse.  While back on the reservation last summer, I made the acquaintance of a stray dog.  She was often my companion during the week, just looking for a friendly hand and perhaps a few scraps from the table.  I wish I could have taken her home, but I guess she already was.

Tanka

Drum beat heart

Stirring blood of Red

We make War

On past, present, future

Taking back our souls

Poem - Yellow Boy

Sing to me

Ancient songs

Your voice

The sound of drums

Of our ancestors

Of our past

A battle song

Lifts my heart

As I lift

Your lever

Chambering your spirit

And I

Tense my finger

Releasing your soul

We are brothers

In fire

Red warrior

And Yellow Boy

Tanka - Another for Jules Verne

The wreck settles deep

As iron beast slips away

Leaving only ghosts

A graveyard on ocean floor

A testament to madness

Haiku - My first…

Rainy day simple

A black crow walks by

I, wondering why, still here

 

-1998 Zero Anon  - This is the fist haiku I wrote as an adult.  (I’m sure we must have written them in school sometime.)  Though I did not use the 5-7-5 syllable structure, I did manage to get 17 syllables on 3 lines.  This poetic form began my slow return to the world of poetry.  It really is the little things, isn’t it?

Tanka/Haiku Set - Remembering George and Audrey

Let’s throw mad parties

Steal masks from the five and dime

Just because we can

Climb up, down the fire escape

Love each other in the end

 

Moonlight drifts through black

Like a river among stones

The past, washed away

 

You can be Audrey

I’ll be George, we’ll play the parts

Like an old movie

Doing things we’ve never done

End it kissing in the rain
