Count syllables when your through
To that style stay true.
Now to create a tanka
Add two lines with seven beats.

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

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.

Be the miracle,
Transform our broken planet,
Make change for the good.
Together we can heal,
Nature’s beauty will return.

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.

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

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

Prickly pears do stick,
Natal plums are quite bitter,
Breadfruit is unique.
Under the sun they grow bright,
Nature’s gifts in warm daylight.

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.

Absence makes hearts long,
Time apart can teach us well,
Memories like threads,
Woven through the silent nights,
Love’s echo grows stronger still.

Watching the TV
Is very different today
Than its inception.
Colors bright, stories unfold,
Bringing us all close together.
-AAA/MAD

Contemplate quiet
Think hard as silence surrounds
Peaceful place, indeed.
Gentle breeze whispers my thoughts,
Nature’s calm wraps me in light.

Clock in your pocket
Time is all over your arms
See if it stands still.
Moments slip like grains of sand,
Echoes of the day dissolve.

Red tomato sauce
With salty cheesy pasta
Is my favorite.
Steam rises with each warm bite,
Comfort on my plate tonight.
AAA/MAD

Angels flying near
Providing reassurance
To stresses today.
Whispers of hope in the breeze,
Guiding hearts to brighter days.
