Deep in Isreals prisons so drear, there is such abaesment, it brings me to tears.'
Accounts of men, violated by dogs maybe
Also women.? And the guards? Are they
human or just filthy hogs.? I'd heard such
Horror stories was it last year.? I dismissed
Such as miss-information.' Yet now more
Amplification reaches my ears, some idf
Thugs have broken.. Under the pressure and strain, they corroberate victim statements
There are medical reports..All seems insane.' Once I was in deep sympathy with
That Isreali state as a whole.' Now i am
Sickened and dissmissive, at these most
Shamefull acts that have stole, humam faith and dignity, i wish it were not so.'
I have now no choice, but to turn around to leave
Such sick; sick acts, now force me (so to do !)
Who are we as one? Will we suffer or fight for life? Arise, speak, let your words be heard. No time to be discouraged, parallel your chin to the ground. Have faith
We are family, my brother and sister.
Everything is ours , declare and keep heed of it ! All is ours with the glorify and power of Him
Unity is one, unanimously we are just as strong. Express all amplification and justice will be served
hanging from the trees
winter fog welcomes the dawn
and obscures the light--
cobwebs shimmer
necklaced to the hedge

with a tremor of light-
daybreak tinges
the nigrescent sky grey-
the horizon appears
distinct in my mind's eye
NOTE:A tanka in English is essentially a 3 line hiku(SHOW)with a couplet amplification (TELL)
a single owl screech
breaks the silent
November night-
the Hunters moon
waxes blue
NOTE:A tanka in English is essentially a 3 line hiku(SHOW)with a couplet amplification (TELL)
Summer,past its best,
pampas reaching heavenward,
trees about to rest-
Japanese anemone
as far as my eye can see
NOTE:A tanka in English is essentially a 3 line hiku(SHOW)with a couplet amplification (TELL)
a single owl screech
breaks the silent
November night-
the Hunters moon
waxes blue

november the fifth-
layered rolls of liquid fog
envelope the bonfire-
the party becomes a
damp squib
NOTE:A tanka in English is essentially a 3 line hiku(SHOW)with a couplet amplification (TELL)
above the still strand
shrieks of seagulls
die on the inshore breeze-
our twin footsteps disappear
as sunset dissolves
NOTE:A tanka in English is essentially a 3 line hiku(SHOW)with a couplet amplification (TELL)
fog at dawn
necklaced cobwebs
allure
entranced
passers-by
NOTE:A tanka in English is essentially a 3 line hiku(SHOW)with a couplet amplification (TELL)
chill breath
of dawn lights
upon my window-pane
nighttime's promises
freeze into crystal
NOTE:A tanka in English is essentially a 3 line hiku(SHOW)with a couplet amplification (TELL)
spoor tracks
imprint
the virgin snow-
footsteps of yesteryear
echo in my mind
NOTE:A tanka in English is essentially a 3 line hiku(SHOW)with a couplet amplification (TELL)
the diary
fell
pages scattered the floor
memories lie
just out of reach
NOTE:A tanka in English is essentially a 3 line hiku(SHOW)with a couplet amplification (TELL)
huddled together
from the sheeting rain
the unbrellas mob the hearse-
then in twos
slowly separate
NOTE:A tanka in English is essentially a 3 line hiku(SHOW)with a couplet amplification (TELL)
without-
the waning sun
warms my face
shalom cloaks
the wells within
NOTE:A tanka in English is essentially a 3 line hiku(SHOW)with a couplet amplification (TELL)
