Emperor Sun Reigns (Tanka)

Emperor sun reigns

Sculpting earth to hells vision

Turning flesh to bone

Coronated in heaven

As master of this domain

Brother Fights Brother (Tanka)

Brother fights brother
Will expressed through violence
So death marches on
All for ideology
Refusing to live on peace

No One Left Behind (Tanka)

No one left behind
The motto of a nation
Turned political
We must bring our loved ones home
Not sacrifice them as pawns

I Am Like Water (Tanka)

I am like water

Soft and pliable yet strong

Moving with the tide

Always going with its flow

Until I meet destiny

.

At Times Love Doth Tame (Tanka)

At times love doth tame

At others it bites with fang

Either I cherish

For to live without loving

Is to live an empty life

Blurry Eyed I Wake (Tanka)

Blurry eyed I wake
Smell of spring envelops me
Song birds my alarm
Only Heaven could surpass
The perfection of this day

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Antagonists Prod (Tanka)

Antagonists prod

In hopes of confrontation

With their jagged barbs

This I refuse to allow

They just aren’t worth the effort

Human Trafficking (Tanka)

Human Trafficking

The world stands by and watches

Little girls for sale

Stolen in the name of God

By hypocrites and devils

Life! What Do You Want (Tanka)

Life! What do you want

Beating me up ‘til I cry

Then knocking me down

Expecting me to thank you

How about if I refuse!

Sky–Canvas of Blue (Tanka)

Sky–canvas of blue

The sun paints with golden hues

Nothing left to chance

Perfection in its glory

Mother Nature’s finest work
