With the end in sight
Beginnings start to fade in
Seeing both is key
It is vision’s clarity
Keeping everything fresh.
Seeing It All

A good cleaning helps
Mental clutter gums things up
Get rid of the noise
Purging matters for free thought
Bring a broom, sweep with gusto
5,000 Each Leg?
Lunging not the way
Sedentary, not good either
A choice to be made
To live static, stuck in place
Or dynamic and lunging
Strewn About Tanka
Shallow are trash cans
When dogs and meat are involved.
Who need a lesson,
The adults or the pit bull?
Messes follow convenience.
African Music Tanka
African music
Soulful shouts of life’s anguish
What is he singing?
No matter his wail is clear
Pain and emotions translate
Writing Tanka
Ethereal thoughts
Electrical impulses
Mechanical scribblings
Writers expressing through them
Writers existing within
What If Tanka
Family focus?
Liar, liar, tongue on fire
Put up and shut up
Conjoin your money and mouth
Put families up here.

Roseanne Tanka (Just Desserts)
Running a loud mouth
Brings stupidity trouble
Freeing time slots by
Walking the humorless hate
From society’s pallet
Note: The ideas in this song seem as relevant today as they did in 1983…
Old Neighbor Tanka
Hot junction boxes
Plumbing leading to the sump
Some home improvements
Plants need that constant light source
Bongwater must go somewhere
***Evidently my old neighbor was something other than a chef… It’s good he’s gone.
