     In days of yore
     All it took was war
       to unite us

     Let war come ashore
       we’ll shake off the rust

Cherry Blossoms in February

Cherry blossoms decorate wispy branches
In clusters of blooms like fallen clouds
Lovely flowers of sweet innocence
Shake off rain from passing thunderclouds....

It May Be Cruel To Her
Sijo 2

          it may be cruel to her/but I cannot shake off this
         ominous presentiment/of the girl once I loved most
    she has left this world long ago/stepping on the lonely path...

Throughout the Journey
Throughout the journey 
You may slip and fall 
Just shake off those bumps in the road 
And rise above it all 
Follow along your path to greatness 
There is opportunity in every difficulty 
Empower yourself 
You have the ability...

First Light
The pond is brackish
a smear of lichen,
a low haze.

Water birds dabble in their sleep.
Soon the sun
will dash across a drop of dew
to burst dams of light.

Wings will shake off
dwindling shadows,
slap the wet air
until the water awakes....

WEAKNESS
I am winning over my greatest weakness
Don't you see that we will never overcome to depress
Let's shake off the reality of compress
Universe is the combination of all the things to access

Premium Member Tunnel Vision
Shake off the blinders
Shatter your shameful shackles 
Shape your destiny
I see dreams thirst for freedom
And a soul plead for release

Fluffly Stuff
I am not trying to call your bluff
But it's funny stuff is fluff
It's very much like love
Sometimes soft, sometimes tough
It's always on one's cuff
Can be hard to try shake off
Under or overstuff
Its too much or not enough
Fluff and love
Love and fluff...

Time Stands Still
In this very moment 
Time stand still
It hits me every time
Faith refills.

I shake off the emotion
try not to think
but waves of the past
keep me in sync. 

Mystery of pleasure
that can not be described 
Why it matters I don't know
Words never transcribe....

Premium Member Which Way To Spring
WHICH WAY TO SPRING

Confused by season’s regress,
flustered Northern birds flapping wings.

I shake off the polar snow,
my coal black boots where blizzard clings.

Dressed cozy warm like Christmas tree,
A fir keeps me warm in Spring.

Premium Member at the end of the day
put up my feet and tune out
my favourite music in the background
forget the daily grind
no worries no busy mind
brush free the day's cobwebs
smile to myself and relax
shake off the weight of the world

Premium Member Damaged, Once Dismayed
    Damaged, once dismayed
      they return to the fray

    Beaten down by the grind
      they can’t leave behind

    Won’t they shrug off their wounds
      shake off the gloom

    Where is the will
      to restore the hope ~
        yesterday saw them bloom

Premium Member Tomorrow's a Breath Away
today your heart is pierced and you’ve lost hope
but dare not die today
tomorrow’s a breath ‘way

shake off the darkness
this heavy mantle of woe
that entraps your soul
re-write the future today

one choice to be made-
stand tall; cast the fear aside
watch as light invades

I Am Wandering: All of a Sudden
Two Tanka: 4 & 5


4) I am wandering
    since when I became a man
    easily move to
    tears by a touching story
    unworldly one’s noble deeds


5) all of a sudden
    I like sending a letter
    to the friend afar
    troubled mind cannot shake off
    written on a drifting cloud...
