In days of yore
All it took was war
to unite us
Think that’s no more?
Let war come ashore
we’ll shake off the rust
shake off the blinders
shatter your shameful shackles
shape your destiny
i see dreams thirst for freedom
and a soul plead for release

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/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
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
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

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

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
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.
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.

she changes her attitude and her dress on whim
we cannot outguess her
she is as unpredictable as a wild boar with a thorn in its paw
she might shake off all of her leaves in early September
or keep them through October
she decides, no one else
lovely autumn
FALL
autumn
blessed season
tawny maple leaves
nose- diving in the air
to be littered on the ground
“harsh autumnal blasts shake off life”

The pond is brackish
a smear of lichen,
a low shaded haze.
Water birds dabble in their sleep.
Soon the sun
will dash across a drop of dew
bursting dams of light.
Wings will shake off
the dwindling shadows
slap the pond and call
until the water awakes.
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
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

Shake off stupor of lower mind
This earth life but a test
Let not dream forms contract and bind
Pause a moment to rest
Nothing to fear but fear
God’s here within, so near
Let thoughts of love endear
In joy caper
Shake off stupor

Quietus
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
Today I will greet the morning,
Shake off any shackles of gloom.
Open my window,
Welcome the world in.
Watch the sunlight dance in my room.
Today I say goodbye to sorrow,
My heart free as a bird winging above.
All my cares are cast
By the winds of yesterday.
For today LIFE and I are in LOVE.
Believe in no obstacles and limitations.
A sweet song can heal, cure and delivery a massive storm out of your life.
Shake off depressions, rejections, discouragement, sorrows and tragedies.
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on and dream on!
Doubters are foolish to underestimate your power of greatness.
Form:
Give me a chance to dance with
Let my waist swirl around you.
Lock me tight,
Let my hands wave around your neck.
Lift me up baby,
Lock your hands with mine.
Don't move your body without me.
Let's break the sweat no matter how wet we get.
Turn off the fear and let's shake off the dance floor.
Dance with me honey.
Into the bathroom
and close the stall door
Go to the corner
and sink to the floor
put in the earphones,
don't care who hears
Breathe slow, close eyes,
shake off those fears
Pull on the sweater
and just hug real tight
Rest on these knees
until all is set right
Get courage to stand
and open the stall
Leave as if nothing
had happened at all
Although I'm in a grim never ending funk,
Rising like the Phoenix will be a slam dunk.
I want to free myself of the sadness,
Rise above all the noise and the madness.
My goal is soar above the galaxy and stars,
no longer a prisoner behind invisible bars.
If I don't shake off this profound abyss,
I will in turn forfeit a life of pure bliss.
Music is like medicine
It can help you start the day.
Come on get movin,
Breath in and out,
Listen to your favourite song,
Have a dance, sing and shout.
Raise your arms in the air,
Wriggle those hips
And cheer!
Have a dance around the room,
Let's have fun,
Shake off all the gloom.
Have a fantastic day!!
The pond is brackish
a smear of lichen,
a low shaded haze.
Water birds dabble in their sleep.
Soon the sun
will dash across a drop of dew
bursting dams of light.
Feathers will shake off
dwindling shadows,
wings slap the ponds surface
until the water awakes.
By then
my eyes will shine like silver moons;
I will write a poem
but not this one.
