Meet The New
Powerful Monarch
She’s a Spunky Girl
No One Really Sees
All The Carry-on Ordeal
Where She Lives
Being Her is a Full-Time Job.

You
……plucked me
out of the field.
You encouraged me to
….blossom
feigned interest.
Oh lucky me,
living
in a flowery shrine
If only you loved me.
Understood me.
If only I had thorns…
to prick you, hurt you
as you have me.
Instead, I wilt
… like the other cut flowers
in a vase.
A Stranger Spoke©Lyn Crain
Your Mother asked me
to spread her ashes in a garden.
Remember how happy she was
puttering amongst the roses?
The wind sweeps
her beloved blooms before
what ifs and might haves
begin again.
Silence echoes, and awkward shifts
as the ashes float away.
A gentle flutter to
tease the blooms and
a smudge of gray
are left behind.
Loneliness
I caressed a rose in the garden today.
My heart clenched, startled by the chime .
Our lives always felt like they turned on a dime
before harsh realities pulled us astray
Melancholy times past
and those crazy places.
Never thought it would last.
I don’t want to remember our embraces
if only we
Is there you and me?
Childhood trauma
Momma’s Ghastly aroma
Lingered in the stuffy room
Fragrant like fried fish
On a muggy summer night.
Her memory still torments.
Tanka a classic form of Japanese poetry with 5 unrhymed lines (5, 7, 5, 7, 7 syllables)
A Different Queen of the Night
A Different Queen of the Night
In the making
Where the
Lady
Lives
Unlike any other
A Singular Style
Steeped in many
Not really
Shattering clarity
Tough questions
Asking
Answering
Liberating
One another
Oddities to you
Healthy
Disaster?
Mortality
It’s All a Blur
In this World of Fantasy
Moonlight
Always a grind, never dull

The Janaku is a simple form of three lines per stanza invented by Eileen Tabios. Each line is based on word count instead of syllables, with the first line containing one word, the second line two words, and the third line three words. There is no limit to the number of stanzas.
