Democracy
on the march through time
a complicated history
dreams morph to nightmares –
these tangled footprints still lures
in dreams in faraway lands

First Snow
teetering on young leaves
of the butterfly bush,
small piles of first snow

Winter Winds
winter winds
with the vigor of a rumbunctious child
blows a hole in gray clouds
releasing the sun

Belching Dragon
Wild fire roars through the hillside
Lick of flames releasing crumbling embers skyward like a belching dragon
With cinders on the fly furthering its cause
wild fire smoulders
flames refuse to be subduded –
nature’s wildest child
stoked by whipping winds fury
on insatible rampage

Dawn – A Tanka
a hush starts the day
morning bids farewell to dawn –
here on the ocean
waves once bathe in twilight pay
homage to the rising sun

Calm & Present
For Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday where we’re to use synonyms for the words Calm & Present. I used Hush & Here.
Catching Raindrops
As winter gray rules the sky, a young family walks quickly down the sidewalk, Anxious to retreat from looming rain. First drops make contact – mom’s footsteps quicken. Facinated by the fat splat to his forehead the toddler breaks the pace.
arms outstretched
palms skyward,
a new distraction
catching raindrops –
the razzle dazzle
of it all!
