Ten Tanka, Haiku and Senryu Poems
Tanka
Werewolves
barking loud
warning
poachers of danger
in
violating
laws
of the jungle laid down
risking
themselves being gobbled
Tanka
Grief
she hid beneath
layers
of epidermis
shielded
with concrete
strong,
hardened, unbreakable
pity
impervious
Tanka
To
take off the edge
of
endless anxiety
he
learned to balance
physical,
emotional
quotient with meditation
Haiku
Weeping
willows stopped
weeping
for the dead soldiers
forever
frozen
Haiku
The
lonely swallow
kept
knocking to draw
the attention of inmates gone
Haiku
Even
the birds flew
with
them providing solace
to the new orphans
Senryu
Against
the blue sky
wings
of warplanes take revenge
display
of fireworks
Senryu
Age
and I look like
blueberry
compote on toast
enlarged
vexed blue veins
Senryu
Hands
raised in prayer
pleading
for forgiveness
Hyenas
laugh amused
Senryu
Trolled
for being bold
Shaved
off tangled long tresses
Gender
stays unplugged
