( Tanka Duo)
Magnificent great homes
Fill'd of much history and beauty
Majestic jewels
Fill with many memories
Some so good some so bad
Sun is going down
Ancient walls show amidt oak trees
Many stand so tall
Surviving time many wars
Elegant homes exuding such grace.

- Mark Twain
~Author's Notes:
"The Tanka" is a classic Japanese poetry form or style that's related to the Haiku.
"Gonna shoot a little dice
Play a little cards
Drink a little beer
and shoot out the stars
Gonna dance with the girl in calico dress
Live to raise hell, ain't no time to rest"
Sittin' at a table playing five card draw
Losing money faster than you ever saw
I looked at the dealer said, where y'all from
He smiled real big and he pulled out his gun
He said me and my pappy and my grandpap
we all come from the Cumberland Gap
The Cumberland Gap, the Cumberland Gap
We all come from the Cumberland Gap
Well I looked at that gun, and I looked at my hand
I looked at the money and I looked at the band
The fiddle player sawing some mournful song
I'm living in this world boys, but not for long
"Gonna shoot a little dice
Play a little cards
Drink a little beer
and shoot out the stars
Gonna dance with the girl in calico dress
Live to raise hell, ain't no time to rest"
Going down Cripple Creek, going in a run
Going down Cripple Creek to have a little fun
Down on Cripple Cripple Creek the living is fast
The girls are all pretty and the money never lasts
You can have you a girl, you can have you a dance
They'll have you hitched and married if you give'em a chance
Preacher man says "son you're living wrong
Life's too short and you're doing all wrong
I said to the preacher, I know you're right,
I'm looking for a girl that can last all night.
I need to find me a bottle with something good
and get to living life the way I should
"Gonna shoot a little dice
Play a little cards
Drink a little beer
and shoot out the stars
Gonna dance with the girl in calico dress
Live to raise hell, ain't no time to rest"
SUN or MOON?
Two drunkards were not aware of morning or evening.
On one corner of sky full yellow disc was shining.
First one was prompt to show ‘Sun is about to set.’
Second one objected ‘Moon is glowing its best.’
Both quarrelled but right answer was totally missing.
On the spot third drunkard was seen to appear.
Both approached to get the correct answer.
First one told, ‘See, Sun is going down.’
Second protested ‘Moon wears golden crown’
Third one listened and tried to make clear
Third replied ‘I am full and going to burp,
but ready to explain you clear and sharp.
I reached this area just today noon
I know neither Mr Sun or Miss Moon
How can I say who is going down or who is rising up?

Death of dating started to happen on a Wednesday.
We had eaten a lovely supper at a favorite restaurant
Loved it going down.
Not so much two hours later as it came back up
Death of dating continued to happen the next Friday
When a disgruntled employee who was fired put shards of glass
Into the chunks of blue cheese that got put into my salad
At another restaurant.
Final straw which insured death of dating happened after we
Got married, had three children and realized we could buy a lot
Of groceries, diapers, and formula with the money we used
To use while dating.
Decided to bury dating and begin eating at home where we
Discovered neither of us was a bad cook; as a matter of fact
We like our cooking better than anybody else's
And we can stay safe at the same time.
Besides have you paid a babysitter lately?
Besides their pay there are Christmas bonuses and you
Have to pay their car insurance.
Mysterious Tower
From top of a tower I am watching Sun about to set
Western sky is ready to display twilight at best
Spectacular color patterns started to display
by reflected, refracted and diffracted Sun ray.
Leaning on the railing
I am also observing
turbulent sea waves whirling, rolling
and thrashing on the sandy shore
Sun has descended the horizon
I am whispering an orison
to God of Ocean
Charming twilight got saturated in dark
Sun rays left no single spark
All the viewers are getting down
I am the loner at night of No Moon.
I felt, now I am to leave the tower.
Already it is too late hour.
When I climbed, i counted the steps as hundred.
I started counting steps again as I am to descend.
One, two,..........twenty- four .....fifty -nine, sixty
Sixty-one......seventy-three......eighty-nine, ninety
ninety-one.......hundred, hundred-one...........two hundred
two hundred and one........five hundred........ No end.
I am descending and counting, counting and descending,
I am going down and down, steps are going down unending.

The boss is coming to school today.
Hooray hooray hooray hooray
I used to like him a bunch, I really did.
But this year he’s fallen into quite a skid.
Being a school counselor has challenges enough.
But being assigned to two schools is more than tough.
My health is going down, my energy depleted.
I am not happy to see him, blaming him as I’m defeated.
The boss is coming to school today
I might want to stay at home, I truly might.
The boss is coming to school today.
I do not want to see him, things are not all right.
Being a school counselor has paperwork galore.
I hate paperwork; it is something I deplore.
I never had to do this double work before.
He who assigned me this, I’d like to wipe up with the floor.
The Hat Game come play
It's going down today
We will giggle, be glamorous, and have fun
the Hat Game has begun
Ladies, please come dress to play
No ones excluded all will be on display
Gonna play this game our way
Please come Swaggin thru this doorway
We will all look so pretty, just looking for a good time
To see my friends, let my hair down and unwind
Today is our day, we own it, we control it
in a very unique classy way
Need no approvals, just do you, your way!!!
Old Friends, great food, big hats and the best of wine
All the day long, we gonna have a great time
Singing songs, dancing, and glancing
don't be surprised by all of the prancings.
This Hat Game is our dominion and its mandatory
To all my Divas, come claim your territory.
We come dress to play, creating our own splendor from heavens glory.
When the day is done, and this hat game we have played,
and all played to hell, satisfaction is what I smell
All my ladies, this year everything was just great
All are jealous and enemies will just have hate
The Hat Game has been played, no style delayed, another hat slayed and God bless all my friends I love you no shade!!!! Hat Game come play
You are the blue sky
Without the white clouds
I am the bird
Flying high above the sky
There are people climbing the mountain
Above the sea
An when they got
All the way to the top
Of the mountain
They glazed up the sky
And they saw me
Now I am tired of flying
So I will lend on earth
Now I am going inside the sea
And I will fish for my food
I am extremely hungry
Also I am going to rest for a while
Before I fly
No matter what people say
I am beautiful
The way God made me
Now the the sun is going down
The end of the day arrived fast
Now I have to fly back
Before it gets dark
I can't see well in the dark
Tightly, I held your hand
You turned to me with a smile
We walked across the warm sand
With comfort lasting more than a mile
Your eyes sparkled in the sun
Your heart could be felt in the beams
Then, we started to laugh and run
Sometimes we’re childlike it seems
There’s not a bother under clear blue sky
Our love reaches our toes in the tide
We have never wondered why
We met as fast as going down a slide
Our souls will always connect with heat
A never ending kiss in our mind
With all the footprints left from our feet
There will be no other like this to find
