Two Thanking Tanka

Thanks for the covid misery
Thanks for the trumpian craziness
Thanks for all the body pain

Thanks for the climate doom
Thanks for our self-destructive idiocy

⭐︎ ⭐︎ ⭐︎

I am grateful for all the bounties of nature
I have gratitude for the kindness I’m given
I appreciate the efforts for betterment

I acknowledge I had a good life
And recognize it could be much worse

Tanka of despair

What a…

§ § §

Countless lies
Raging hatred
Alternate truth

Zealots spreading
Yucky morals

§ § §

Clueless opinion
Respect of nothing
Abandoning all senses

Zonked by dubious words
Yearning for chaos

§ § §

What’s happening to us?
Ought we to give up?
Rallying our last strength

Let’s fight this insanity
Defending our Principles !

§ § §

… we now live in !

Two pseudo-Tanka for what’s matter

How did we move from a pandemic
To riots and looting in the streets ?
Is it instigated by the Orange Boogaloo ?

You cannot fight hatred with violence
How can we come back from all this ?

 

* * *

Yes, express your outrage
For the black Floyd’s
Despicable and unnecessary murder

But be careful of the manipulators
Propagating death and deepening chasm

Poésie du dimanche

Si parfois la vie est pleine d’embûche
Que t’en arrache et que ça fait scier
T’as p’être pas été dans bonne branche

Rappel-toi que t’es un citoyen de souche
Que c’est dans ton sang, dans tes racines

Note: essai de pseudo-tanka (tanka-toy?) et photo-haïku. le pouète du dimanche, quand y trouve ça pas easy, y se réfugie dans l’humour. (Essaye donc de traduire ça gougle!) ごめんなさい!
