Her Amber Crown (A Tanka)
By green in water
Blue in eye and mind alike
With gentle shimmer
Gleaming is the ray above
This, your autumn crown alive
her amber crown written as a tanka

all my favorite bars
remind me of old ship wreckage
blue bottled dry gin
courses through my Viking veins
I steer this helm with one aye

penny pincher (tanka)
The weight of a dream
Broken up against the rocks
Of my distractions:
I'll abandon this one, too,
Content with the same old things.
An inability to plan and budget is a surefire way to destroy your own hopes before they even begin to form.

“One day he just came
We shared moments together,
We have laugh and play
And he told me he love me
More than anybody else.”

“Beautiful fairies
In the fantastical word,
Girls ask if you’re true
They wish they can see you once
Dancing, singing and flying.”

Gust
He came like a wind,
whispered music in my ears,
swiftly brushed my lips,
then brought cold creeps to my skin,
lulled me and just disappeared.
Just a dream

A Tanka For Her Daughters
Listen to the sky
To her daughter as they run
And play mold the earth
With waters and stirring clay
Do her rivers run alive
Mother nature has many daughters and their names are rivers.

All Hail to My Mystical Queens
Vivid in the green
Shades of purple, pink and blue
Sparkling hydrangeas
Queens of the rainy season
So mystical and special

Happiest Birthday.
You introduced me to this.
I’m kind of sorry,
I had missed last year’s greetings.
So enjoy your day my friend.
Happy Birthday Erin. Sorry I missed last year’s greetings. I was going through a rough depressive episode. To be frank, I was introduced to this site through you so I’m thankful for that. Enjoy your day.

Dreamland
A portrait of love
In the realm of fantasy
Our hearts beat in sync
Rainbow paints on a canvas
Only us, in bed, naked
