Russell Sivey Poet Tanka

Crashing In

I was enjoying
A peaceful walk on a path
When there was a noise
Crashing in, piercing the scene
A realm of fire penetrates

Taking my walk down
Hurting my tears as they fall
Nothing of peace left
Just tyranny fills the air
My path annihilated

Russell Sivey

Tim B June 24, 2012 at 11:07 PM Indeed, a surreal nightmare that came to pass on a warm and sunny day as we all enjoyed this peaceful walk. The clouds are full of noxious vapors, but there will always be another path, we just have to find it. Thanks for sharing, great poetry my friend!
