Tankas – Colliding Thoughts

Play pocket billiards
Watch animated sky storms
Think trajectory
Weather pockets hitting keen
Eight ball might find Missouri

~*~

Sky fright-scapes darken
Tinder lighting tinder’s flight
Golden state burning
Send the rain back, boys, Send Rain!
So many prayers, no time.

~*~

How Many Prayers
Lord, we give them then give more
Our friends are asking
How many prayers oh Lord
Are we doing something wrong?

~*~

Every country poor
Nations, states, all seem without
Devastation rules
I ask bellowers
What can be done so to help?

~*~

Bellowing people
Silence is all they might hear
Some forget to kneel
Some forget to kneel but hope
Some just simply laugh away

~*~

To those in power
You will never stop the rains
Nor people’s desires
Maybe He will take it back
He never liked desertion.

~*~

These are powerful. What pulled me in here to read? Well, let's see. I get my money's worth and more. You are the poet. I like your style. What am I taking away? I am taking away a bit of how you see the physical and spiritual world. I am taking away some fine examples of tankas.

And I am taking away the thought that I am happy I came to read.
