Senryu

When day ends in night
Whatever we might think or say
Our deity is Dosh

Tanka

Madeline, the lost child
Her disappearance ain’t in vain
Her parents are paid
Millions of dollars to tell
How much they love her dearly.


Epigram

An airline pilot who gets into trouble when flying
Must try to land safely, or he will be dead; if he’s
Victorious he’ll be celebrated and given a medalTanka

Madeline, the lost child
Her disappearance ain’t in vain
Her parents are paid
Millions of dollars to tell Senryu

Valentine day
Hiding married boredom
Behind glowing words

How much they love her dearly.
