A Tanka - Hello Poetry

Dark clouds cover cold
Golden hay shines like the Sun
And colors become
One with the grey eternal
A flood of song into one

Storm Colored

Sunset, Lovers Torn, Tanka

Cool blue turns calm dusk
To hopeful still and quiet
As warm well lit dawn
Arrives in full force of arms
To carry tired lovers torn

Sunset, Lovers Torn, Tanka

Shooting Stars, A Tanka

The stars know no cold
Like the lonely walking minds
Who know, what it means
To be more than just burning
Atmospheric dust yearning

Shooting Stars, A Tanka

Eyes Over Steaming Cup, A Tanka

It's a simple smile
Softly over a small cup
Of steaming coffee
Which cries almost quietly
"Joy alive in crinkled eyes"

Happiness is overrated. But Joyfulness through faith, cannot enough be exaggerated.

Perhaps a verbal self-portrait of sorts. Lolz.

Youthful Summer, A Tanka

Flowers young breathing
In a new day morning shine
Basking in the glow
Of another Spring born young
Revealing a Summers teen

I'm not sure which, but either Spring or Summer is the teenager of all the seasons.

Raindrops On An Old Roof, A Tanka

Downfall ever sharp
Rainwards on the steeple tall
Propped up on one arm
The building farce built of old
Refuses to fall down cold

I guess Rainwards is a word now. Via Raindrops On An Old Roof, A Tanka.

A Shadowy Tanka

No more shadows reign
No more the dark running waves
For they have crashed, yes
And will pass inquisitive
As no darker means will last

All unpleasantness will pass and crash. Like the waves at sea. Dark and rolling.

A Tanka For A Snowy Spring Day

Foolish to revive
Anew on an April's day
Stormy sentiments
Devoid of such rainy eyes
But full of such snowy woes

Snow in April? Like a true northerner I am neither shocked nor surprised. Just wonder when the Springtime will finally be upon us. (:

A Tanka For Her Tired Eyes

Curl up in my bed
Do not wait for me to sleep
Dim the lights slightly
And when I return to you
Wrap your sleepy arms round me

Because my bed would and will always be open to her

A Tanka For Shy People, Wandering Minds and Anxious Askers

Though hours of silence
May stand still between two hearts
There's nothing between
Your chances and your own hope
With opportunistic eyes

Because its better to ask and to try and know. Trust me.

Creative Tanka

Be not mistaken
I'm here as a creator
Your words hold no sway
Over my designer's eyes
So keep them in your own lines

There are two kinds of people in this world.... (;

Our Tanka

She is starlight cold
The kind which radiates me
And I am mere glass
Formed by timeless sandy days
And iridescent are we

It's takes more than one jewel to make a crown. And when I'm here. I'm yours in mind.

Tanka Of The Untamed

How you fire fury
How you freeze ferociously
A vein of lightning
Running ever furious
Never to be kept, but free

Could mean one thing or another. Need the original key/sight. LOL.
