Sixteen Stanzas of Tanka and Haiku
My responses to #vss365 on Twitter/X. The day's prompt word is marked with a #
I.
The final #frontier
is not what you think it is:
delve into your mind.
II.
Biggest #heist of all
You stole in and took my heart
I don't want it back.
III.
Shackled in my mind
I dream of happier days
the taste of #freedom.
IV.
At the last sunset
when the glow of life is done:
time for the #endgame.
V.
Music and laughter
party around the campfire
#balter and sing loud.
VI.
They give #credence to
all of the evil misdeeds:
still do not believe.
VII.
Family party:
voices raised in argument
such a #kerfuffle

IX.

wings under the moon.
XII.
My limbs so heavy

So many bad takes on things:
what's this #codswallop?!
XV.
Painting a sunset
yellow and orange darken
#vermillion blood
XVI.
Who's who in power
all jockeying for control:
#snollygosters all
