What happens to this poetry embroidered within the walls of my heart, 
When the joy of my words are shattered underneath your feet, 
Can the torture of your empty moon paint a slithering promise, 
Far across into my deep colorless dreamscape of dahlias, 
Your dry...

Let me be the first 
 to have the audacity to translate, 
This piece of mystery molded 
         in a magical meadow of mistakes,
The reckless subject, there,
      just standing still like a...

In the blink of an eye the earth reversed
the sun rising in the west setting in the east
gravity's pull suddenly lessened it's hold
heavy things grow much lighter and floated

Look up to the sky and see what I mean
houses, cars animals and people flying
water running uphill...

When the dusk bleeds 
                     epitaph roses,
and the blackbird sings

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...

Once upon a time, I used to be you. 
In my misdemeanor I fell out of your love. 
Now you are quick to judge, but you don't know me. 
In your silence, you wish me away.
Invoking ancient curses, praying I stray. 
Tiny streams of tears...

In the moment
This very moment, I sit and wait
For the sound of a car engine
For two people to get out

I will smile and rush to unlock the door
To say welcome home
Welcome dearly felt for my sister and her husband
Why am I so welcoming

Have been dog...

Postmodernism’s the fashion ne’er manque.
We must study Foucault and his scribes.
Get reason trapped and do not court  delay.
You need to find your intellectual tribe.

Where is the goose which laid the golden egg..

Which narrative is balanced on a peg?
Which philosopher gets...

The splendid patency of the ocean so vast
Becalmed my eyes when the sunset orangish
Rimmed the depth of the blues far…
The beacon beams glinted by the ebbtide
The waves bravoed to the het up coast
By the breaking of the eventide. 
Aweary the trawler homed with a news
The...

Letter from ANKOBRA - (28/03/17- Asiedu Michael)

I was a long meandering beautiful worm
Flowing along the beautiful evergreen swarms
Twisting and turning from the north east into the cape three
Many rejoiced in my beauty for my own sake
And a few more, for their grains sake
I was a...

Bee Pronghorn
Ole Herb wasn't feeling nifty,
his pronger wasnt lifting,
50 years it worked, but now was nothing left,
into overalls he climbed,
protected every part  in mind,
cep his donger, which hung sadly unimpressed,

the beehive was a buzzing,
with every bee and its cousin,
getting flopped and stirred to frightful...
