Hope springs eternal
Just a phrase to so many
Whose hope has faded
Left destitute and alone
Welcome to the new Main Street

O’ Precious Neighbor – A Tanka
O’ precious neighbor
Though we live worlds apart
We are of one soul
One mind and of one body
Our stories end the same way

A walk in the sun
Natures call to blossom
Shoots and buds answer
Birds return from winters rest
A beautiful renewal

Calls Go Unanswered – A Tanka

Calls go unanswered
Are you not at all concerned
Like ships lost at sea
When late to arrive at port
We send out a search party

Black of Night – A Tanka

Steeped in black of night
Dangers lurk in the shadows
Like things of nightmares
Evil and malevolent
Though certainly spurious

In Opposition – A Tanka
I fear you are right
Never have two sides not been
Like our history
Contrarian by nature
Viewpoints in opposition

Change of Course – A Tanka
What you think is right
Is right this moment only
Circumstances change
Requiring reflection
And a drastic change of course

Suffer the Consequences – A Tanka
With a tender touch
I tried to quiet your tears
You pushed me away
This was of my own doing
Now it is me who suffers

Faithful To The End – A Tanka
Walk alone with me
On these streets I’ve paved with gold
Take my outstretched hand
Offered as a sign of love
And a bond never broken

A Warm Profit – A Tanka
What happened to spring
Window panes covered in frost
Melt in summer’s heat
Global warming is a myth
When profit is your motive
