Thelonius Monk
we must credit with the first ever Tomahawk Dunk
in between riffs
he was in no way discouraged by his occasional whiffs....

fuchsia blooms suckle 
scenic whiffs on sultry wind 
in cloud-filled dreams still
shaken with a poignant sting
trapped in seaside's rustic pine...

Curly wisps


of ebony locks


glistening


with each stroke,


releasing whiffs of jasmine


She combs out her hair.

Hawaiian sunsets -
my freckled legs wade through it
whiffs of a beach-fire
take me back to childhood days
close 'nough to warm, but not scorch

Her hush rolls like folding scrolls
Gentle breeze, whiffs of anise
Fire, cream puff desire
Soft sorbet, goosebump display
Draw back of kite, lull of light
Descending easel bending
Blackboard slate, forgiveness' weight

Unforgiving rocky crag
    juts
into empty space
hanging
on a whisper of frozen
   exhale
Puffy whiffs rise
oh
   so
      gently
lazy
Icy death on misslip
slippery ledge
free
     fall
         forgiveness
tumble me silent
     after all ......

She dances she glances 
Beyond her shoulder 
She peers 
Looking back 
Her beautiful smile 
She poses in the mirror  

He weighs his chances
Returns her glances
Then whiffs
Of cheap scent
Reveal a fake smile
In shattered reflection

We lounge together by the sea
In a bower -filled pasture on high,
With musings shared intimately
As a temperate breeze whiffs nearby,
sliding through words upon breath’s air
That enter our pores, a glow that trails
As hearts lay bare on one autumn day.

Breathtakingly vast,

     the green plains bask with delight

          in the amber afternoon sunlight;

                    across the skyline float

                         cottony whiffs of clouds low-lying,

                              left behind, it seems, by birds slow-flying....

Elk Walk

           elk walk in snow to
     find a morsel in warm fount
         beyond, fields beacons

          morning frost twinkles
      while rancher sips coffee and

The wind stroking my eyebrows
As I try to assuage my sorrows
The guilts of my past 
Lie await in my path

My yesterday has become an assassin
That exterminates the enthusiasm of my tomorrow 
My today whiffs with the redolence of sin
As all my drives are engulfed in sorrow

We lounge together by the sea
In a bower filled meadow on high,
And he shares musings intimately
While a magical breeze whiffs nearby,
sliding through words through breath’s air
That enters my pores, a flow that guides
As hearts lay bare on moon’s prayer;
For silence knows how love abides.

Wetness comes
In the morning dew
Until the suns heat
Warms the leaf

Glittering sparkles
Light up the wet dew
Brightening each day
Reflections of smiles

Whiffs of Lilac
Through the air
A sent of spring 
A new day begins 

Yesterday is over
Time to plant new clover
For luck in four
A new day has begun...

picnic tables
scattered in the park
awaiting the sun


radio belts out tunes
seagulls circling
whiffs of chipwagon


few treasured sunrays
awaken dormant daydreams
~ hope lurks on standby

Breathtakingly broad and vast,
   dark-green plains and hills bask
        in mute delight

in the amber late afternoon
   by the blue lake's refracted,
        soft sunlight.

Across the faint skyline float
   whiffs of cottony white
        clouds low-lying

like fine feathers left behind 
   by  hurrying, homesick 
        birds low-flying!...

Dreams Wander! © Tanka

Crowning ‘glories’ bloom
Scent the breezes upwards overhead
Whiffs bloated full of dreams
Cascade to a downwards place
A wonderful airing out!

All shaded angles point down  
Shadows within the flowers 
Silken petals flush
Deepening coloured shadows 
On, in-between, down around....

When you hear the annoying yaps of them pups.
Remember the gifts they bring as hunters.
Then lose the fear of hungering "cause of luck.
And temper from the whiffs of thier farters.

They act as Alarm clocks and not just for work.
Legally eat a burgler with a well earned meal.
Scares the Cats! an,allyway Frocks?!barely a bark!
Fiercely defencive kuckers!for a stroke and a feel....
