Tanka 12
Tanka 12
dark skies fuel
my melancholy mood
winter’s cold rain
dampens down my writing mind
deadens my ways with words...

The Root of all Evil
Negativity, an impossible foe,
a miserable worm that deadens the skull.
A soul enraged when fully engaged-
Best leave the monkey in its cage....

Pains of Stupidity
Egotism is the anesthetic that deadens the pains of stupidity
It lowers the shield that lets one think they have complete validity...

Washed and Scrubbed
Intellectual hygiene…
the Poet declines
That dull antiseptic,
that deadens your mind
Once washed and then scrubbed,
the truth a charade
Academic consensus
—the Muse in her grave

My Car, My House
My car, my crappy house, the job I loathe
and clothes I wear, the girl I say I love
and rarely really speak to; fitted glove
that deadens all my senses, all I loathe
and praise at once is part of living, most
of all my woman, jailer, savior, saint.
I own her, yet she owns me. Could I paint
a breathing body-not this quiet host....

Crowded Solitude
Once more, a tired tarp shields
and saves him tonight
from the dreary drizzle that
deadens his sight;
these days solitude has been
the trash can fire
he's been huddling around
in fevered desire
with fellow wanderers warming
weary hands,
on their fingers college rings,
wedding bands....

Bonecrushers
Our neighbourhoods our prisons
Outside fear, death, street barons
Streetwar innocent souls deadens
Guns, daggers, stickers in dozens
Nothing to do but the others hate
In dark corners the weak predate
Beware of tempting bait
You may end up in a strait
Join a wicked gang
Have no feelings no pang
Just follow the yang
Drugs, girls, bang bang bang...

Down With Pessimism
Down with pessimism
Drown not in negativism
Beware of escapism
Steer clear of cynicism
Keep far from fanaticism
It only invites antagonism
Too lonely is monasticism
Too stifling, collectivism
Failure dogs perfectionism
Emptiness mars materialism
Insularity deadens catechism
Stoicism breeds fatalism...
True, this poem is full of criticism
~ But it ends on a note of optimism...

Snow Day
I gaze out of my window and I see
Like shredded wings of angels in distress
The snow is falling, in enormous flakes!
An hour of gentle snow is all it takes
To clothe my garden in her wedding dress.
I love the snow when it is deep and fresh!
It renders clear the shouts of children’s play
Now ev'rything is shining, clean and white.
Snow deadens all the din of normal life …
And yet I’m glad to see it melt away!...

Jealousy
Submitted for Jealousy contest
feelings, green, heart, heartbroken, jealousy, passion
A string of dodoitsu poetry on jealousy
Jealousy soars a sour note
Deadens all perceptions true
Carries emptiness inside
A broken heart ruled!
Tears sting and run like rivers
When jealous acts take over
To one's inefficiencies
Envied mistrust rules!
Green-eyed looks cause love hang-ups
Monsters insecurities
That mate with hatred and bile
Wed only heartache!...
