Tears or Jewels?

Posted on January 10, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Raindrops on barren tree branch

Silent Tree of Winter,

Branches now barren

Except for teardrops

As you await

The new buds of Spring,

Or strands of jewels

Left behind by rain?

Syllabic Verse

Scripture, Tanka

Cling to Life

Posted on November 7, 2016December 8, 2016 by Leonas Lines

Still clinging to life

One tiny leaf holds on

Never give up hope

Though all those about you may fall

Hang tight to the *Branch of life

Tanka

*Branch–Jeremiah 23:5, 33:15 and BRANCH-Zechariah 3:8, 6:12
