1: Tanka

Emotionless eyes
searching for unwitting prey
void of compassion
succumbing to his embrace
oblivious to danger

2:Poverty
Poor World

We don't think of our greed
or those in desperate need
who really have it so tough
at least not nearly enough
blest of the merciful who will
in return will have their fill
salvation cannot be earned
a lesson that must be learned

THIS TEAM ONLY -

I GIVE YOU 3 STARS ***

You may use your stars to double post, but may only do so three times.

Good luck

1-3

Just before dawn, waves rose to meet the sand,
an hamaca swayed to the rhythm of drums,
And a child,
watched the stars disappeared with the night.

Vices Versus Virtue

It has been said
revenge is sweet
one wolf's been fed
enough too eat
while another
like a mother
loving and kind
to not be blind
denies vices
in sacrifices

5. Wild Card

Two fishes in the pan.
In the pan, hot, hot
the sizzling oil, hisses.
It's a dish of two fishes
I won't do the dishes.
unless you give me kisses.
Those are my wishes,
Hot hot like the pan.
The sizzling oil, hisses.
