    but it hurts though.

    useless blathering
    spews off her inflamed mouth. Words
    laced with ignorance
    awe her peers to mindlessly
    worship faux intelligence.

    Yes, it does.

    angels are better
    than us humans as they work
    and do their wages
    without ever feeling grief
    or the slightest thought of love

    On the corner of
    the page I see words written
    in a hand unknown.
    Read on, silent voyager
    they say, and so I read on.

    An old newspaper.

    Dried windy crackle,
    faces printed to the curb
    whipped with disinterest.
    Streaked and filthy caravan
    society's countenance.


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

    I've never seen stars
    so close before; as I lie
    against the cool grass
    motionless yet in motion,
    spinning with the Earth.

    Slowly filtered from
    a sleeping mind, summer stars
    robe a naked sky,
    every silvered light a drop
    taunting of a lasting touch.



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

    Sparrows and the bones
    of beasts decay alike to
    our cerebral skull.
    Pockets dug to carry change
    ahead of dreams are empty.



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

    Tangled leaves grapple
    the stone, seeking holes, boring
    tendrils deep within,
    sapping life from dirt and air,
    bursting, a glory of fruit.



    sitting, doing nothing

    laziness has its
    own rewards; you just sit
    and do nothing yet
    anytime and anywhere
    a fly may enter your mouth!

    hooorrah! participants!


    Bulbs glare into night,
    an encroaching awareness
    of dim breaths behind
    moths that scatter with the light,
    this cloud of perturbation.



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

    It starts at the edge
    of the clouds, spreading along
    a dark horizon,
    consuming like hungry ants
    munching, until the sky glows.

    Hey guys it's my first shot in Tanka writing so don't be hard on me while evaluating it
    Serene existence,
    voices of little angels spread out
    all aver the place,
    at a complete ease
    drowning my heart in happiness.

    Flaws in perfection.

    Hiya naomi, welcome to LitNet!
    There're generally no criticisms here in the fun game threads (except in the picture and form poetry rounds), though anyone's free to express their admiration or confusion or anything on anyone else's pieces. Your tanka was very nice, though there was, i thought, some deviations from the given syllable format. But then, who said we always have to follow rules?


    The waters ripple
    the moon. And the trees, standing
    so tall in the night,
    are made blurry by the wind.
    Time, tonight, is pocked with age.


    Thats an interesting avatar, by the way, Fifth.
