Another day ends
Thankful for all that I have
Yet unsatisfied
While pain and suffering thrive
I can’t be truly happy

Civil Rights Ignored (Tanka)
Civil rights ignored
Skin color determines rules
The sixties again
We clearly haven’t progressed
Far beyond our racist past

Undulating Storms (Tanka)
Undulating storms
Breathe life into flaccid land
Lifeblood is transfused
Washing clean the earth from sky
Returning to whence it came
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Mandarin Sun Sets (Tanka)
Mandarin sun sets
Sinking perilously slow
As it always does
The coming day begs it rise
Bringing light and life to earth
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
What’s Our Future Hold (Tanka)
What’s our future hold
My only hope is for peace
Peace for our children
Look into their guiltless eyes
How could you pull the trigger

Cries Come From The Hill (Tanka)
Cries come from the Hill
They’re coming to kill us all

He doesn’t need any proof
He just reads his crystal ball

To Have Lost At Love (Tanka)
To have lost at love
A horrible thing indeed
Never to have loved
Is a gift truly wasted
That can never be retrieved
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Knowing Right And Wrong (Tanka)
Knowing right and wrong
We blame it on upbringing
Wooden switch draws blood
He’s just a child of four
How terrible could he be
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Do Spirits Exist (Tanka)
Do spirits exist
Walking the earth after dark
Or are we alone
It can’t be coincidence
That things go bump in the night
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Waters Flow Freely (Tanka)
Waters flow freely
Ever flexible, formless
Yet so powerful
Should we not live as water
Molding to life as it comes
