"Mistake" Tanka ( Wayne's 10 word clallenge)

TEMPTRESS GLITTERING,
I run with FRAGRANT flowers,
Until TASTELESS poem,
A MORTAL SIN TAINTED us,
I CROSS over Love's GRAVE,......LOST !

The Major Star (haibun)

The major star who was hundreds of centuries old
was finally dying yet not in vain, for with its death
comes new life and new planets formed as it splinters

Water so cool and clear
life giving to all our worlds
stars birth formed you

As a star dies the gases ignite and fuse into droplets
these then are carried to other worlds to start new life
Scientists believe that all life came from these deaths

Moonshine beams dancing
causing flickering shadows
that dance joyously

Our own moon and all the sun's orbiting planets were
formed in one of these explosions. All we see and touch
came from a dying major star

Sunbeams hit the water
refracting and enhancing
the crystal river

Sometime in the future our own major star the Sun will
die leaving life as we know it gone yet as prophets
have said death is the start of rebirth so lets enjoy our stars

Stars hide their faces
behind the fluffy white cloud
just an odd twinkle

Senryu

caught in the moment
reflection in a window
who covets their time

It's a sad sad song
beyond all hope of appeal
holding your photo


stealing from Dylan:

Along the watchtower
all the women came and went
princes kept the view

Sun

Early morning sun
The tall pine tree
Greets it first

Haiku- Ha Ha!

To follow this trend
I had to Google Haiku,
Easy it is not!

WISE

Think to know what’s known
Not knowing what you think of
To know what’s not known

We only know what's given to us, but the true knowledge lies within knowing how much more there is to learn :)

~Haiku~ Oceanic

Moon lit tide rolls in
Cresting beached sand, drifts back in place
To depth where it began

Water, Sun, Clouds

Water

Water flowing down
babbling, full of joyfulness
giving life to all

Sun

Soul of life are you
blazing ball of sparking fire
lighting up our world

Clouds

Gentle clouds drift by
casting shadows over all
blanking out the sun
