Japanese Tanka game

Sudden wave of death;
Water power magnified,
By earthquake kick-start.
The next flood, compassion's gifts,
After the deluge, the hope.

Morning divulges
Secrets, florid blushes pale
As light flippantly
Floods the world; To face this day
Requires nourishment: Meusli.

the microwave oven

The Microwave Oven:

Dawn of the moderns,
Symbol of the vapid age;
The glow of your light
Brings charm to many a home
And kids have a welcome meal.

Science is over
Now we know it does not end
With no common goal
It atomises and then
the atoms break down too

Watch the evening news
All those lives of painful change
Somehow make us feel
Lucky. I always prefer
The weather report myself.

You claim you love me
I'm afraid this is not love
These quiet ordeals
Love as something to vomit
To make you despise yourself

Plastic exoskeleton?
Non-degradable!
When the world chokes it's last breath,
It will be our epitaph.

Without a recurrent theme,
And that thought is left
To survive with no reserves,

For epic domination;
That grand series of insight.

Nor my knees, nor my neck, nor....

Everywhere you go
Its sweet scent follows, intrudes.
Numberless outlets
Advertise this sugared drug

Look at his old tie
Hasn't done a knot since school
Tapping his foot now,
Tell him later in the pub
To pay attention at mine

Average at first look,
'Till a dash into a booth
Reveals an alter ego;
Fantasic expression of
Man's viewed mediocrity.

I know this smart guy,
He thinks, and hums to himself,
Chimes, winks, tells stories,
Pretty much all day long, then
Sleeps; 'till you push his buttons.

My favourite shoes
Are those that frequently lie
On your bedroom floor
So good of them to unveil
These beautiful latticed feet
