Funeral home crasher
observing peoples raw grief
tallies visits up
no one questions her
assume she knew deceased
its rarely the case
over four hundred
I am askance and concerned
at her weird hobby
46.
Poetic keystrokes
On my chest cavity
Meek records, not enough tallies
Yet the universe remains benevolent.
I am happy laughing philosphy
Gage the light
Breathe--exhale--precious
Courage can’t appear on a Powerpoint.
Naked Be---
by Odin Roark
lettin’ the words drip
crosstown
uptown
downtown
any town
through alleys
valleys
hustle-street tallies
tell it like it is
‘cause if it don’t read
it’ll never breathe
teasin’ is pleasin’
and dreamin’ has meanin’
and no one wants naked be
what naked sees
uh uh
Another flag on the profile page,
Not much really to express the rage;
Mounting tallies of innocent dead,
Fill our hearts with increasing dread;
Cars now used as terrorist tools,
Be they foreign or domestic fools;
As these attacks begin to swell,
Know there’s a special place in hell.
Romance is grand, that is the tack.
Of course it's all commercial ruse;
Merchants to turn books red to black
And cause us wallets to abuse.
Not one device of foe nor friend
Tallies the losses less than gain
In funds when love comes to an end:
Cash down the unsuspecting drain.

Tanka is five line verse
Though the tail is unlike
Tallies with Haiku scheme
Traces profound feelings
Transmits strong emotion
Through an implied image
The end states its notion.

A shored life
awakes the old
patience is a virtue
a wondrous light
a way for the world
one way passage
yielding trifles
abundant returns
nameless faceless
novelties in scrolls
constant to air
The Book of Life
accounts tallies
clearly visible
hidden from sight
chance of a lifetime
warps through glass
bottled sealed.
Slithering distractions
Taunting from the narrows
Rummaging the pain
Oscillating arrows
Lasting is the stain
Lurking in the alleys
Seeking other’s tears
Once the number tallies
Nudging on the fears
Slithering distractions
Ominous display
Undesired actions
People run away
Spewing like a fountain
Unimpeded hate
Cast them from the mountain
Kick them to their fate
