We are all actors
Playing our parts in this life
On stage saying lines
We feel will get accolades
Lift our egos up higher

Daily Tanka Poem #105 – Tomorrows
Gotta realize
You don’t know the tomorrows
You have left in life
So use each one you’re given
Like there is none left to use
Daily Tanka Poem #104 – Blessings
In life’s frequent pains
Blessings can be seen and felt
Cause through pain comes strength
From God to carry you through
Keep you walking head held high
Daily Tanka Poem #103 – Nation
A once proud nation
Now a shell of past glory
Needs to shed some tears
Bend their hearts and bend their knees
Repent, time is running out
Daily Tanka Poem #102 – Weary Traveler
Weary traveler
what I feel I’ve now become
A lonely old soul
Grown tired of walking on
The so long and winding road
Only by God’s grace
My feet keep trudging along
Giving energy
As energy wains
Giving my life a purpose
As my purpose seems so lost
Daily Tanka Poem #101 – Be
Used to want to be
Any other person but me
Wanted to be cool
The popular kid in my school
The one people looked up to
Anyone else but me
Then came an epiphany
I’m unique to me
Created, one of a kind
Living as no one but me
Daily Tanka Poem #100 – Grade
How do you so grade
The life you have lived so far
Good, bad in between
Don’t be so hard on yourself
Life is a long hard fought test
One without much rest
Pass or fail it’s up to you
Daily Tanka Poem – Connected
Quickly connected
But so much further apart
Don’t get together
In person but through a few texts
Human connection goes down
Only in person
Can we really truly know
What someone’s feeling
How their life really does go
Can’t text true love don’t you know
Daily Tanka Poem – Middle
Will we ever learn?
There’s no this side or that side
No, I’m right, you’re wrong
Have to meet in the middle
Cause it’s there where love exists
Daily Tanka Poem – Difficult
You’re so difficult
Always wanting to be right
Basking in your views
Have to learn to compromise
Someone else’s views are valid
Whittlings
