Dreaming in a Dream (a Tanka)
You were in my dream
I was dreaming in a dream
Sailing a calm sea
Floating on a warm current
Adrift in your universe

From The North
Winter will not die
Nor relinquish his title
Without a cold blast
Howling over frozen bones
Of ancestors who have passed

Pool Patterns
Future Skies
An old graceful world
Shimmers upon mirrored pond
Timeless images
Nature’s blameless history
Awaits future smogless skies

Beyond Freedom (a Tanka)
Under lock and key
The past can not be opened
Lunar history
Locked inside the universe
Beyond the stars of freedom

A Rainbow Spark, (a Tanka)
To see a lark soar
High above the rainbow arch
Reignites my spark
Despite the afternoon dark
Of cold hailstones, hard and sharp

Tanka: Moon Tree
No! Don’t go up there

Knock! Knock! Scary pranks, for treats
