Tanka #1

She is the reason
Of my happiness and joy
I am the reason
For her unwavering faith
In deceit and fraudulence

Two Crooks

Two bold crooks plot cons
Shoot two sorry boys down
Go to loot gold from Bono’s shops
Cops look on
Nobody boos, nobody coos
Nobody stops
To frown for two poor boys

Now two crooks do not worry
Hold stocks
Go long or short
On Tokyo’s books
Hosts lots, grow old
Good food, pools, dogs too
Songs of joy, no sorrow
Not now, not tomorrow
No cop or ghost or god
To book two crooks who shot two boys down

Limerick #6

Genie granted me three wishes
So I let him do the dishes
Then with a broom
He cleaned up my room
Before I wished my husband vanishes
