if you walk alone
in the narrow streets of heart
you are quite destined
to meet an angel of love
lurking to embrace you there

Hips shaken, swerving
on the rolling disco floor:
waves in neon light.
We lean on recreated
rhythms, dance to fill the dark.
whoops, that's soul (not rape)

and somehow a dog
has taken itself & its tail considerably away
into the mountains or sea or sky, leaving
behind: me, wag.

ripping, tearing shreds
life gashed, screaming voicelessly
driving violence
a darkness of the human
soul, emotional wasteland

tiny bits of life
tucked into hidden pockets
of shirts and aprons
shrunk to size, determined to
fit in smallest dimensions

you broke your promise
went back on your given words
you are a stone heart
how can I love a feigner
why should I give you my heart?
frivolity
Lately i noticed only a few of us follow this actually:
But the tankas sound so much better if we do.The first three lines (kami no ku) usually present an image or thought and the last two lines (shimo no ku) shift the focus to a related idea.
Aquamarine waves
Throb one upon other, form
Fleeting silver domes…
Preposterous waves, trying
To make it look sensible.

...the smell of flowers through metal labyrinths.
tiny bird sings songs
in bright guilded dulcet bars
tiny beak Darwin
noticed evolution's mark--
others notice only pets...
valor
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
soldiers, pick your arms
march toward enemy land
teach them a lesson
so they always remember
valor shines in battle field
gossip
tongue wags on both ends--
silence forgotten golden
telephone, tell all--
certain factual you bet!
I got it from the horse's mouth!
Diva
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie

mens' hygienic needs
do not require extra kits
to protect themselves
they can move their sticks freely
bounce their balls without cups
libido
treacherous it may
fullfills but tiresome to say.
through time and years long
decay and hopeless gestures
burned ashes remain to wail.
depression and sadness
nothing is the same
nothing pleases my sad heart
flowers look so dull
clear sky seems to fall on me
with all its stars- without you
satisfaction

When asked how World War III would be fought, Einstein replied that he didn't know. But he knew how World War IV would be fought: With sticks and stones.
