WELL...GEE...THANKS! <br /> <br />The moment wraps up <br />the Universe in new dawn <br />tied up with twilight. <br />“How much will that be? ” I ask. <br />“Oh this one’s on the house, Sir! ” <br /> <br /> <br />******* <br /> <br /> <br />BALANCING ON THE REDNESS <br /> <br /> <br />Blooms blossom...bell booms <br />sight & sound becoming one <br />in my open mind <br />butterfly balancing on <br />the redness of a flower. <br /> <br />******* <br /> <br /> <br />NO HAIKU TANKA <br /> <br /> <br />Shadow & sunlight <br />chase each other over page <br />write their own haiku. <br />Who needs words when they can do <br />it wordless – by themselves. <br /> <br />******* <br />LOST MOON <br /> <br />Red leaves on white moon <br />I gather both in my hands <br />lost in reflection. <br />Moon drips now between fingers <br />leaves on my palms – stigmata. <br /> <br /> <br />******** <br /> <br />YEAH YEAH...I SEE! <br /> <br />Galaxy of stars <br />as if an enormous hand <br />points to tiny bird <br />singing on top of my house <br />as if I hadn’t noticed. <br /> <br /> <br />Dearest Onelia! <br /> <br />Not got 'round to postcards yet! So these tankas will just have to do in lieu! <br /> <br />love Dónall Dónall<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/well-gee-thanks-tankas-for-onelia-in-lieu-of-postcards/
