Original Triolet-
Everyone is watching.
You have to be the best
You have spent your life dreaming of this, wanting to do something.
Everyone is watching.
Your future is watching from the sidelines.
You have trained for this moment harder than the rest.
Everyone is watching.
You have to be the best.
Triolet- The Game of Life
Eyes stare with anticipation and peer into your soul,
Failure is ready to call you home.
You have dedicated your life to dreaming of this moment
Eyes stare with anticipation and peer into your soul,
Your future is watching from the sidelines.
You have been bred for this stage,
Eyes stare with anticipation and peer into your soul,
Failure is ready to call you home.
Original Pantoum-
The thunder claps,
the lightning zaps.
The winds howl,
The sky churns with a never ending growl.
The lightning zaps,
the seawall begins to collapse.
The sky churns with a never ending growl,
people hide inside like fowl.
The seawall begins to collapse,
branches snap and roofing flaps.
People hide inside like fowl,
the wolves prowl.
Branches snap and roofing flaps,
the sounds against the windows become more than taps.
The wolves prowl,
Children are alert as owls
Roofs collapse, the damage is washed away and all that is left are scraps,
the thunder claps.
No one ever thought things could go afoul
the sky churns with a never ending growl.
New Pantoum- Storm of Revenge
The thunder claps,
The lightning cracks the sky.
The winds howl,
The sky churns with a never ending growl.
The lightning cracks the sky
The seawall begins to collapse.
The sky churns with a never ending growl,
They cower, unsuspecting of their troubles to come
The seawall begins to collapse,
Branches snap and roofing flaps
They cower, unsuspecting of their troubles to come,
Oblivious to what they did.
Branches snap and roofing flaps,
The sounds against the windows become more than taps.
Oblivious to what they did,
With my next strike, they will be left with nothing.
They learned their lesson,
The thunder claps.
A force of nature can never be tormented without a price,
The sky churns with a never ending growl.
Original Tanka-
The darkness descends,
A new day gone forever,
Never to be seen,
Through the night, all is quiet,
Only stirred by the sunlight.
New Tanka- The Passing of a Day
The darkness descends,
A new day lost forever,
Never to be seen,
Through the night, all is renewed,
The world revived by sunlight.
