HOT DAY THOUGHTS (Japanese shop Tanka)

Submitted by scribbler on Sat, 2012-07-07 20:43

On hot summer days
my mind drifts back to the past
fishing beaver ponds
with my departed brother
to escape the heat

Japanese Poetry workshop: 4 haiku, 2 senryu, 1 tanka

By Ron Blue Demon77

=========================================================
Haiku 1

Ominous clouds loom
signs of the approaching rain
for the thirsty plants

=========================================================
Haiku 2

Green skies turbulent
ebon tendril reaches ground
Nature's fury's face

==========================================================
Haiku 3

television shows
sometimes coincide with life
this seems trite, I know
but often happens in times
when my life is full of strife

Move your feet in dance.
Trip the light fantastical.
Laugh not when it falls.

Haiku (Japanese Poetry Workshop)

Split water and aire.
Leap the Great Divide in fear.
Thus Koi and fools die.

Haiku, Senyru and Tanka ...(for workshop)

Submitted by Ian.T on Mon, 2012-06-11 03:09

"Haiku"

Equatorial
Midday sun no shadow thrown
A summertime home

"Haiku"

Where deep holes made damp
By Monsoon water way down
Drop bucket to fill

"Haiku"

The leaf twisted off
Fell to the hard frozen ground
The shadows grew long

"Haiku"

The blue bells did ring
The white bells swayed aloof
My lavender soon

"Senyru"

Many bad pains felt
A bonding that makes you cry
Tiny hands reach out

"Senyru"

Tanka "Japanese Poetry Workshop"

Submitted by Barbara Writes on Thu, 2012-06-07 19:42

Tanka: # 1
A ghastly screw up
The blue flashing behind me
A dreaded ticket 
Twenty five years clean record
Down the drain one split minute

Tanka: #2
Tell tale smell of death
Secrets, lies, deceit finds light
Troubled sea rises
Pains from past immoral acts
Roll back stone thus uncover

Tanka: # 3
Brain freeze like a rock
Won't allow decisiveness 
Builds stress when I try 
A blinding force guides my thought
When making clear decisions

SENRYU ( Japanese shop)

Submitted by scribbler on Wed, 2012-06-06 22:01

#1
Self professed genius
multiple advanced degrees
can't find car at Wal-mart
#2
Unsure why I take this action
or how to impliment
like the plan?
#3
Five trillion dollars more
unimaginable number
so much for "change"
#4
Tiny thong
bane of modesty
especially on him

Senyru Japanese Poetry Workshop

Submitted by Barbara Writes on Wed, 2012-06-06 08:50

Senyru: #1
Dry eyes low vision 
Right eye twenty four-hundred
After glaucoma  

Senyru: #2
Sooo broken hearted
You walked away with my sun
Tears fall as raindrops 

Senyru: #3
It burns in my chest
Back tightens under pressure
Overcome by pain

Tanka (workshop)

Submitted by Ian.T on Tue, 2012-06-05 03:25

Rivers of darkness

Flow silently underground

Released to sunshine

Nurturing all it touches

Let us rejoice it runs free......

Yours tounge in cheek Yenti
