Ancient trees stand tall
Whispered tales of time and life
Green sanctuary
Older than all time itself
These green libraries stand tall…

Green Libraries
Tag: Tanka
Stony Brook
Winding through the stones
Gentle secrets softly flow
Life’s pulse in each drop
Crisp icy waters flow by
Carrying some fallen leaves…

Wide Open
Wide fields kiss the sky
Daisies dance in warm sunlight
Nature’s quilt unfolds
Greeted by deafened silence
With only the wind speaking…

Tension of Silence
In the examination room,
Pencil dances on the page,
Thoughts like butterflies.
A sneeze breaks the silence—you
Realize you forgot to breathe!
Poetry Wonders
Write a quick haiku
Count syllables when your through
To that style stay true.
Now to create a tanka
Add two lines with seven beats.

Ethereal Harmony
Universal source
Where everything can exist
All at the same time.
Stars twinkle in the night sky,
Dreams dance on the soft, warm breeze.

Harmony in Creation
Colors blend and shine,
Nature hums a sweet soft tune,
Craftsmen shape their dreams.
Together, we find our place,
Art and life in every space.
Healing Together
Be the miracle,
Transform our broken planet,
Make change for the good.
Together we can heal,
Nature’s beauty will return.

Healing Power
Laughter cures all ills
Far better than those horse pills
Giggle climbing hills.
Joy shared with friends, we find peace,
Smiles bloom like flowers in spring.

Awakening Dreams
Close your eyes to dream
In vivid imagery
Of every color.
Whispers of the gentle breeze,
Hope blooms like a summer dawn.

Shadows of Deception
Such propaganda,
Weapons of mass distraction,
Truth hidden from all.
Whispers in the shadows grow,
Eyes seek light through the darkness.

Nature’s Bounty
Prickly pears do stick,
Natal plums are quite bitter,
Breadfruit is unique.
Under the sun they grow bright,
Nature’s gifts in warm daylight.
-AAA/MAD
Shadows of Fear
Fear of judgment lingers,
Tightly grasping what we know.
Letting go is hard,
Leaves no space for us to grow,
In shadows, dreams remain low.
Echoes of Longing
Absence makes hearts long,
Time apart can teach us well,
Memories like threads,
Woven through the silent nights,
Love’s echo grows stronger still.
Evolution of Television
Watching the TV
Is very different today
Than its inception.
Colors bright, stories unfold,
Bringing us all close together.
