Haiku transformed to Tanka.

Sinking City

concrete silently 
weeping softly clouded rain
     pouring out its heart
Crying  out its anger to
       the world that corrupt it

Hee Haw Trumpetting

A Mexican mule is endowed
To cheerfully service a crowd
Each roll in the hay
Brings shouts of, "Olé!"
And his bray, for crying out loud!

Premium Member Sticks and Such

Sticks and such
Covered up
By a late
Winter’s snow
Walking now
No place to go
But back home
Crying out
God don’t
Make me
Wait too long

Break Up

The door you closed behind,
The love you left out blinded.
It’s me, who’s crying out loud,
It’s you who’s looking so proud!
Such love I could not find…

Lost love and fear
Crying out to hear that song
Glittering in dark depths
So much pain and fear .

Endless Misery

Begging for a new life
Crying out for help
Dying for answers
Endless lies
Fear of the unknown
Going insane inside of my own 
head
Help me
I need to be saved...

Premium Member tears in the dead of night

sounds of violin crying out in the dark
desperate for one solitary ray of moonlight
string along all lost souls who stray in the night

Hidden

No one can tell I’m crying out for help
No one can see I’m try not to give up.
Everyone can see my smiling happy face.
But they don’t look beyond that
And see the real me.

hushing quiet eyes

Premium Member The Last Laugh

Life without death contains nothing more than death without life, it remains unfulfilled straight from rejected beginnings of ending, a muted mockery of laughter for crying out loud.
Form: Epigram

Alone

Alone I stand..steady and calm as my eyes wonder, Deep in depression my soul lays in its fetal position, Crying out for affection as I wanders alone through this purgatory we live in.

Friends

Where all my friends at
in a dark room crying out
no one to call on

advice I helped out
loyal to everybody
left to help myself

learned my lesson
people pleasing is over 
be true to myself
Form: Haiku

Premium Member Love was yesterday.

I listened to love for years, still feeling the pain.
Pulling back the cover, crying out in vain.
Silenced, I feel the pressure on my heart.
The truth belongs to yesterday, I didn’t feel it start.

Premium Member A Woman's Smile

If I could find the words,
I would write about her smile.
Honestly, to me,
It's my favorite thing.
It always makes me happy;
Forget about the tears.
Forget the crying out;
Make the rain disappear.

Object of a Sigh

Object of a Sigh

Relief seems to be an object of sigh
But have you ever seen one in the sky
Maybe in form of a cute little cloud
Who when rains is crying out loud.

Pale Man

Hands down, the sleeper
Sits on a seclusive seat of hope:

Aging lips survey a feast 
With disdain, and crust at the 
Hair peach crying out for barber Enamel
Atop its push-up chair of
Amethyst and scarlet.

Silent Heart

I 
Often
Wonder why
You steal away
My very heartbeat
Each time you pass me by
My heart refuses to beat
The silence is too deafening
Without the sound of my heart I hear
My soul crying out for your attention

Premium Member Agony

Chimney is blocked

Reindeer in limbo

Santa is shocked


Angels tuned out

Jesus on crutches

Crying out loud


Dice already cast

Cross nails await

Fake news unsurpassed

Parodying Latitude

setting latitude
you with your knowing of the rigging
laughing into the sail
Crying out the humour
Playing with breezes you don't understand
Time will erase your voyage
Surely  don't strike at
at the Sailing Man

No One Is There

I'm crying out for someone,
But no one is there.
I'm crying out to anyone,
But still no one is there.
I cry out louder and louder each time,
But still no one is there.
I cry harder and harder,
Still no one is there!

What Do You See

looking at this world makes me sad
thinking it can only inquire the bad 
rejoicing from the though of people crying out
we say we are humans 
and that we do everything humane 
but when you look at it what do you really see?

A Moment Disappears

A moment disappears
Like it was never there
Crying out for notice
The most silent shout
An open mouth with no words
A bleeding throat
Torn by loneliness and exclusion
My ears are unlocked 
To your nonexistent shrieks
