First Tanka
Thanks to a writing colleague - Timothy Stelly, Sr. - I was inspired to try my hand at Tanka (and vent my frustration). Your thoughts?
Madness
Yes, of course
I’d like to tell you
what I really think of you
but I am afraid
that I would be unable
to control my rage
and would blow your head clean off
with a solitary glance
the end
you pack belongings
silently wishing me hope
and I stand idle
hoping u at last
find love somewhere, else
I, hoping you come back to
find it here, u hoping that
I give u one last chance to
Softness
White sheets fluttering
Kissing softly at my back
Flowing gently at window
Dove lands slow
Peering at me as
I lay, head back, back arched
my legs spread wide quivering
and u raise ur head to smile
Strength
Nuff
Enuff now
I have had enuff I said
Money talks, bullshyt walks and
I have had enuff of this
Holding up the world
Juggling everything that gets
Thrown at me
While having little to show
for it, so I’m dropping the
world
Ain’t jugglin’ shyt else until
I get what is coming to me

Ok, Saga. You blew me away. Gurl, I am going to tell ya again. YOU GOT SKILLZ. Tell your inner critic: "Shut the hell up."
We wound ourselves more than the enemy can. Be free and do it! You are gifted and don't let crazy thoughts stop you.
