Coptic Christians killed
No God would sanction murder
In his Holy name
Call them just what they are…thugs
Taking Allah’s Name in vain

I’ve Been Called Foolish (Tanka)
I’ve been called foolish
Unconventional, dreamer
Happiness abounds
Maybe that is my secret
To living a joy filled life
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Utopian Dreams (Tanka)
Utopian dreams
These are but an illusion
In the minds of man
Introspection is the way
Your ideal life is waiting
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Regretting The Past (Tanka)
Regretting the past
It cannot be changed once gone
It must be let go
Otherwise it destroys
Leaving sorrow in its wake
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
The Touch Of Your Hand (Tanka)
The touch of your hand
Soft skin on my stubbled cheek
Tells me you love me
I try to speak but I’m mute
Our silence says all we need
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
The Reign Of Mankind (Tanka)
The reign of mankind
Trustees of all living things
Seems like a mistake
When we won’t protect our own
How can we be entrusted
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
I Am But A Ghost (Tanka)
You reach out for me
My vessel–something to hold
But it’s illusion
You cannot touch who I am
For it is not this body
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Before Judging Me (Tanka)
Before judging me
Walk a long mile in my shoes
Cry a million of tears
Feel all the pain I have felt
Then you’ll see the fool you’ve been
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Lazy Saturday (Tanka)
Lazy Saturday
Hot coffee and the paper
Lounging on the couch
Recharging the batteries
After the stress of the week
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Weary From The Day (Tanka)
Weary from the day
Sunset draws me to slumber
Like a lover’s kiss
Embraced by the tranquil night
I bid a tender adieu
~~Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
