Inimitableness Poems | Examples

Tanka as Poem

 I have been outside
Nature is beautiful they say
It was rather cold
The sun a polished one euro
Clouds are the sun’s flunkies

Inside looking out
Nature looks fantasyland
You can’t lure me out
The wilderness is insecure
And sometimes the wind blows hard.

I’m civilized man
Outdoor is discovery channel
Sharks and dark water
Nature needs a glass divider
Enjoying our inimitableness

Tanka as a Poem

I have been outside 
Nature is beautiful they say
It was rather cold
The sun, one euro polished 
Clouds are the suns` flunkies

Inside looking out 
Nature looks like fantasy land
You can`t lure me out
The wilderness is insecure 
And sometimes the wind blows hard

 I`m civilised man 
Outdoor is discovery channel
Sharks and dark water
Nature needs a glass divider
Enjoying our inimitableness
