Choka/Tanka
by Nancy
Ness
Moon
over water
Reflection of firmament
A cleansing mirror
Catharsis for sunshine’s day
Thenceforth true enlightenment
Snowflake
symphony
Enwrapped in nightly blanket
The sound of silence
Falling harmoniously
Upon earth’s discord
beneath
The silence within
Universal awareness
Treasure found anew
Expressions of inner minds
To oneself truth must
be told
Students of
times past
Learn humanity's context
Hope to heed its call
Attendance to history
Wends pathways to future peace
Haiku/Senyru
Nature's
lavation
Falling snows purifying
Sullied earth below
God
Bless this Sunday
May His wisdom fall upon
Each ray of Sunshine
Gulls
sing Freedom's song
Sentinels from coast to coast
Worldwide echoes waft
Words
create visions
Unbounded within mind's eye
Endless excursions
A
unique fruitloop
Unleashed creativity
For new days' breakfast
Walking
life's long road
Recall Streets of Memories
Step down Future's Way
Seaside
skies opaque
Unseen foghorn drones from shore
Heralding till dawn
Mossy green
feathers
Mysteria's lee walks
Whispering secrets
Window to
the world
Celestial visions afar
Poet's pen beams light
Follow
tumbleweeds
Rolling winds on boundless plain
Stop to smell sagebrush
Paths of
righteous truth
And purity of heart lend
Self encirclement
Recollection
dwells
Lifelong freedom's relative
Mind's writings boundless
Lost hearts
found within
Open chambers to new love
Previously locked
Truth in
word and deed
Embraces a Godly path
Life of fulfillment
Shades of
lavender
Greet morning's ray openly
Green meadows beneath
Petals
reflecting
Enhance our garden of life
Double the fragrance
Perennial
rose
Fragrant petal shields from thorn
A lifetime treasure
The sun and
the moon
Antithesis one to each
Symbiotic light
Safety
lies within
Hearts entwined freely to each
Eternal comfort
Tempestuous
seas
Churn serene wave to riptide
Exposing the deep
Each
revolution
Bearing wisdom for mankind
Yields evolution
Poetry is all
A landscape of painted words
A portrait of life
Clinging to
my screen
Lone Monarch in its grandeur
Without chrysalis
Cumulous
heavens
Securely holding secrets
Watching from above
Jingling
castanets
Resound mellifluently
Syncopated hearts
Olympic
leisure
Sporting Parade of Nations
Lifetime exertion
Mirrored
reflection
You are there, here with me viewed
From within oneself
