Dilema? - a Tanka for Friday Muse

by Hein Rich 

 

Oh Yes

Fly away or stay 

Like little bird in Fate's hands 

Solved--cook it for lunch 

World goes around and around 

With hands give thanks for our food

Sleeping Poor - a Poem for the Friday Writings

    My Bleeding Heart 

Mention not my bleeding heart 

Tales peoples of crass desires 

Tired of hearing my lament 

Their cold hearts seldom do bleed 

Tender hearted that I am 

Would they rather be hearing 

What woes of life's given me 

Which I'd never ever tell 

Life's hidden, my restless sleep 

Tear spots on my pillowcase  

The blood on my clean white sheets 

There tells the story I won't 

Life has left me bleeding heart 

Losses, love, animals, friends
