The comfort of lights
Streaked across cafe Windows.
Noise like a blanket.
Cocooned by cacophony,
Refugee from loneliness.
Ideas and vivid images I soon find
Bristle and crowd my mind;
Stirred from sensations hidden below
Now on streaked palettes flow.
Standing on this bluff,
Gazing past the conifers,
To sunset streaked clouds;
I number the days gone by
Since we last saw each other.
Coronavirus met its doom
When sunlight streaked into my room
I can't get a tan
Because of the ban
But it saved my Fruit of the Loom!
June's Morning Sky
Sun shines in the white streaked sky,
meshing with the aqua blue,
reflecting joy that is clear as a mirror.
September
rinses
my skies blue
October’s
streaked sunsets
will have me
awash with wonder

Blue asters wave beneath fall’s indigo streaked sky – bye bye summertime

No tanka author
Grips the reigns of emotions
Like Takuboku
I, my face so streaked with tears,
blithely read about his crabs
In huge purple blooms
ancestor of ancestors,
sun streaked cro magnon!
The whispering lime green leaves
told secrets of fragrant breeze.
If truth be told, I’m getting old
my hair is streaked with grey
I cannot lie, I use hair dye
To banish the greys away
9/15/18
Sun kissed apple cheeks,
Honey streaked golden hair.
Strawberry lips against creamy skin,
Under sparkling cerulean candies.
My three daughters,
Sweet enough to eat.
bouncy pale locks
fly little legs
pump, soar the blue
winters tide trickles
tear streaked temples
a game of peek-a-boo
with an intangible daddy
playing in the clouds
Prior to March
Sunlight streams brilliant
Streaked silver veils.
Periwinkles bloom in amber dew;
Glossy azure blossoms
Rusty vermilion.

piercing swallow's wings
earth by heaven's mirror streaked
ripples between worlds

allayed down the alley
streaked down every street
Rode on every road
languished with the lane
close was always loss
Avant guards the ave knew
squares were never around
Just tray revealing
In the blue-souled shadows,
a lion-headed sunflower, head bowed.
Sunlight was just out of reach
Pixies totally out of touch.
Every moment of its life
streaked with the blush of dusk.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mud-streaked pavement gleams~
a snail's silver trail dissolves
into dusk's embrace.
Was it ever really here?
Only the damp earth remembers.
dejavu disguised as dreams
infiltrate
reality careens
impaled on mountains
built on fear
screaming in terror
streaked in tears
papery shrouds
ripped away
shaking arms
embrace a new day (C) MJR 2010
The little white house
one hollow, pale May
gapes wide dark bowels
devours a prized race.
Screams in the black
tunes and sweet song.
Hair to power looms
Last waltz of souls
in carbon streaked flames.

Walking the last mile
on twilight streaked memory trail,
hear sunset hymn call,
see lost faces rise from dust pile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I walk through March's thaw,
mud-streaked paths, where hope and frost
clash in silent breath.
Each bud holds a whispered fight,
as shadows stretch toward light.
THE MOON IS FULL
By John T. Haupt
The moon is full
And feel the pull
Do the ebbing and flooding tides.
The coyote howls,
And hoot the owls,
And the dolphin on moon-streaked wave rides.
Chico, my cat -
he’s sometimes sweet,
sometimes a brat
I stroke his fur -
white streaked with peach -
and hear him purr
I cannot know
when his presence
he will bestow
He hides from me
till his blue eyes
with glee I see
scarlet streaked with yellow
I lean to breathe in her scent
I reach out to feel her touch
she pricks me
and I bleed...
bleed her scarlet fever
bleed her yellow fever
she needs me to bleed
so gladly I bleed
scarlet streaked with yellow
clad in muted shades
of apricot, streaked in pink,
speckled russet-brown
a floriferous delight...
alas, of fragrance deprived!
