Japanese Tanka game

Happy Jack laughed,
Today he would marry Jill,
In the small white church
At the very top of that hill—
Thought they were fetching water…

Another twisted fairy tale

Once upon a Time,
an Ogre kidnapped Helen
to be his Bride, but
Harold came to save the Day,
and took Helen as his Wife.

The Spiral Dance.

Today's weird weather,
with its wicked snow and sleet,
swirling in a real
spiral dance, both beautiful
and dangerous to People!

The Magic Science.

Evolution is
The Magical Science, yes?
For it probes mysteries—
From fragments microscopic—
Behold! A man from an ape!

Presumed knowledge

He presumed knowledge,
but she saw foolishness, pain,
and suffering at
the core of his being, so
she listened with empathy.

The Boys and Girls.

The little street waifs,
The boys’ and the girls’ thin faces—
Wait for sustenance,
Just a crumb of daily bread
Be it begged or stolen…


dreamlands

My Dreamlands exist
to help me optimize my
Reality in
an effort to love, enjoy,
and enrich other People.

Out of the Woods.

Wolf with fetid breath,
Chasing after me for hours—
Along with his pack
Fang and claw in slavering jaws—
Not out of the woods just yet…







Fear incarnate

Ignorance is Fear
incarnate, for it ignores
Logic, Reason, and
Higher Learning in many
aspects of all walks of life.
-------------------------
The Mystery of Change.

The Mystery of
Change is not Rocket Science;
just do your Best now
within every aspect of
Triumph, without fail always.
------------------------------
The Art of Victory.

Have a great Weekend!

Sincerely,

Uncle Lar

Crucial pivot launch,
thrusted disc in spirals thrown
turning in the air.
Measure and repeated call,
lapped with cheers, eyes glint at all.


A balloon that won't float.

Rubber skin loses shape—
Helium will not succeed now.
Has puncture wound
Straight through vital organs—
This balloon will never float…

Elephant stampede

Deep thunderous streaking
grey, battle spear tusks lifted
as they scream of day;
stomping earth in speedy flight,
ruin tracks are rails to night.



A monkey fond of tree swinging.

Both hands and feet grasp—
And the tail a homegrown rope!
Make a second-story thief,
But all it thinks is swinging—
Whole jungle is a playground…

slow moving turtle

Slow moving Turtle,
with patience and persistence
overcame the fast
but cocky Rabbit, who thought
he had time to take a nap.
