Risk
For a slightest chance,
All chips are in, all cards, drawn.
Some say I'm foolish;
Yes, maybe, but I don't care.
Happiness is just too rare.
Life is too short. Risk it. Take the chance.

Butterfly (Tanka #41)
Light as a feather
Mischievously flying low
Very colorful
Pollinate flowers and flap
Pretty butterfly wings clap

Letter (Tanka #40)
Crumbled on the floor,
Torn in pieces from within.
Written were, those words,
On the paper full of sin.
Flame to ashes, now it rests.

Potholes (Tanka #39)
Slippery potholes
Muddy pool, caramal top
Hungers the swamp frogs.
Dirt road on rainy evenings,
Creatures crawl in the dim light.

Dog (Tanka #38)
My dog's called Whiskey
He's active and fresky
His other names are,
Pup, Beta, Shona and Boo
He's my little Winni Pooh.

I have 5 dogs. Whiskey is the eldest shorty. I love my 5 babies too much.

Coffee (Tanka #37)
Rustling leaves on trees,
Bulbul chirps near my window
Cool breeze greets my mood
A soothing background music,
And a cup of red coffee.

Wounded (Tanka #36)
After six long years
You've come to see me, why?
Unstoppable tears
Pouring out unsaid feelings
Only my wounded soul hears
