Train Tanka

by chrishancock789 on January 11, 2020January 10, 2020

Life compared to trains
Running over slippery rails
Stoking cold engines
It mustn’t be all that bad
Hitch to the good, all aboard

Dream Stage Tanka

by chrishancock789 on January 2, 2020January 2, 2020

Everyday stuff
Keep it all under tight wraps
Mundane is okay
Wrong, status quo sucks the life
Be bold, court new challenges

Squatters Rights

by chrishancock789 on October 3, 2019October 3, 2019

Territorial
Where you poop makes a spot yours
Keep it in the bowl
Because there is too much scat
We could all use some more space

Netty Pot Head

by chrishancock789 on July 25, 2019July 24, 2019

A nostril may go sieve
An inhale bringing life in
Exhales send it out
Let water flow in and out
Let life be with the water

My Personal Joy

by chrishancock789 on April 28, 2019April 28, 2019

The way people are
Is not the way I should be
Bad only brings bad
Acting the right way allows
Freedom from their ignorance

Steam Rising

by chrishancock789 on April 10, 2019April 9, 2019

Body steam rising
Demonstrating hard effort
Cold air pulling heat
Leaving pure satisfaction
Deep inside a panting soul
That place of everything hot

Briefly, he panted,
Seventy pounds of muscle
Soaking in the sun
One moment, tongue dangling,
The next…curled up in a ball

March

by chrishancock789 on March 16, 2019March 16, 2019

Clouds walking the sky
Blotting out a Spring day’s sun
Prolonging winter
Wanting to sit on the deck
Not willing to deal with cold

Finding

Crossing great divides
Pushing mental barriers
Transcending normal
To find uncommon pathways
Is to learn who we can be
