Outside-In Inside-Out, Rebirth, Earth's Time Shares,

birth, creation, dark, death, earth, history, metaphor OUTSIDE-IN---INSIDE OUT! © TANKA Very green flushed carpets Sky blue azure topped ceilings Tree branched sofa chairs Mirror sea rippling four walls Windows and doors shut! REBIRTH! © TANKA Infant birthing new Into mankind-likened modes Start fresh from homed sights Cultured to suckle blind On natures ‘tested’ recollected notes Left ‘one on one’ in thought sense! Earth’s Time Shares © TANKA Earth imploding ‘noted’ Fished from science scales to date Attention everyone Demise for man’s brutal act Shrinks to pin-head size! MARKED SPACES! © TANKA Caterwauling winds Float the once settled landfills Forming 'blocks' of sand Balanced on set place-mats Dwindle down to nothings. A LITTLE SALT PLEASE! © TANKA Salt beds remain ‘still’ Air-dried salt mines reap Sea tides, air-dried onto land Leave the needed salt shares Flavour 'salted' dressings over time Enhance life’s food plate! FORMIDABLE THOUGHT! © TANKA Too many thoughts stockpile Hanging words staged 'left' Rehashed until spent Sending 'mood-eating’ topics To announce ‘inner’ moon ‘tides’! work SHARED AIMS! © TANKA Unity bids man Into work managed mindsets Oiling the forces ‘toil’ Producing metal and brawn Empires bleed open! SET STRIDES © TANKA Brain building 'strides' learnt Leg and body builds in time All in a heady breath count Balanced events mate Affecting lifespan!
