Thor Strikes (Tanka #7)
The cries of nature
Has burst the roaring skies
Rumble and tumble
Thors hammer spikes and strikes, spark
Jolts over a dead forest

Felony (Tanka #5)
The rage crawled upon,
Skin deep, to slither darkness.
Fumes of agony,
Burnt the shattered heart pieces.
A revengeful felony.

Psychosis (Tanka #6)
Blunt blade cuts with pain
The deeper it goes in, the
more hatred, it spills.
Psychosis, plays its neat game,
deemed with a horrific cult.

Brutal (Tanka #4)
Bruises on her face
Like steamy bubbling geysers
Burnt and disfigured
Now a surviving victim
Of brutal acid attack

Corpses (Tanka #3)
Faint flint like floating  
Locked with chains, swept up rust cages
Iron locks secured
Damage ones reveal, flopped
experiments, putrefy

Bliss (Tanka #2)
Glow worms brighten, the
Moonless night, decorating
Itself on some trees
Like twinkling of million stars
Shedding pure eternal bliss

Drops (Tanka #1)
Cumbersome clouds pile
Dark indigo patches spread
A saddened calm sky
Tearing emotional drops
Onto the barren dry land

Scurillous orb
(a tanka)

Cruel realm indeed,
This cold, marble land we breed,
With mishaps of greed
In dreary torture, we bleed
—Wretched souls to feed.

Moon Reads The Stars
Midnight's milky eye
blindly stares across a sky
written in star dots.
Feeling with fingers of cloud,
Moon reads the braille of Heaven
Inspired by #JunePoeticWings prompt 'Read The Stars'

"June 19"
The rain starts to fall,
On this hot yet humid day.
Like tears of pure joy.
Live and dance on rainy days,
Happiest birthday to you.
Happy birthday Erin. Hope you like this poem.
