Tanka

Tanka.

Talk to the net
Listen to the faint echo,
Of virtual droning,
The unspoken loneliness,
Of dreamers caught in a void.



Tanka.

I have traveled long
Blessed by Gobi’s new moon
Bit by scorpions Voyagers of the Oceans
Seen tall ships sail up said down
But, found my way back to you



Tanka.

I have voyaged long
Sailed across seven seas
Canoed great rivers
Humiliated by the infamous
This I did and you married Fred!
