A Few Tanka
A FEW TANKA
as a child
vampire movies scared me
now i don’t scare easily
but irate drivers
a whole different story
from his smoking gun
all the players took cover
when quick draw ike went
plum crazy
over losing to a pair of deuces
this beautiful garden
with plaster statues
in its midst
always strikes me to the quick
white death overlooking loveliness
my little journey
up a garden’s sandy path
flowers surrounding
and accompanied by happiness
a noisy bird bath
