    LoL Oh great, a real easy one then. Hmm...

    Picking up pieces
    of hard and slippery rind
    Pavement splashed with wax
    A light rain falls, white streamers
    hang soggy on dead branches

    TOPIC -- eggs
    If you had to live with this you'd rather lie than fall.

    The nasty boiled egg smells.
    And makes me vomit.
    My mother always makes eggs,
    But thats why she is a ****.

    i read somewhere that in tanka, each line is stand alone, makes sense of its own but together they flow into one.. is it? feels that will be cute if we cud,,

    i am not going
    a heart gift-wrapped lie here
    my girl’s birthday bash
    pulled out his rib for her
    an apple for a precious bone

    My mind holds the brush
    The darkness is my canvas....
    I... am history.
    I am like those before me...
    My mind the the devil's playground.

    That^^^ was my first personal experience kind of poem. Actually more personal than I have ever been. I tried to make each line stand alone, but it is really ha.rd

    How about innocence lost, and again, run with it.

    That's a good point, Rocksea. I had heard that before, but I forgot. Thanks

    And RH, that was beautiful! Why haven't you written poetry before? It's about darn time!

    Hehe I still haven't seen that movie.

    The unreachable
    There, just beyond my view
    I know it must be
    My gaze fixed, I'm still going
    Don't look back. Don't look inside

    From the inside I
    Create a tension, vacuum,
    That holds together
    All that the world sees as me.
    One day it will all collapse.

    Calm blue slides and sinks
    To plummet into the trough
    Cruel, gnashing jaws
    Eyes rage and drown all they see
    The mind, like a wave, stands still

    forget to watch life in-out
    it is spring here now
    cherry blossoms allover
    let life blossom in me soft

    My mother abroad,
    A Jekyll and Hyde woman.
    I like this distance
    That separates us from one
    Another. It lets me breathe.
