Of the arctic subarctic
Hunter gatherers
Taking only what they need
For survival in the cold

Lunch Break – A Tanka
Break room here I come.
Reaching in the fridge for lunch,
Warming my food.
Thirty minutes. Eat quick!
Head back to finish the day.

No More Space Shuttle,
Blue Angels, or Thunderbirds.

Koi and the Lotus Flower – A Tanka
Floating in the pond
The lotus provides beauty
It’s roots a cover
Koi swim happily below
Nature working together

Zero plus Zero
Equals zero. If you don’t
Do your part today,
Don’t expect anything friend,
Because of your poor effort.

Life Is Like Chess
We all make our move
Sometimes we jump, or get jumped
We go all over
Chasing and running for dreams
The royalty always wins
