The light of truth shines on all
Is your conscience clear?

Tanka: Lockdown Silver Lining
Not a cloud in sight
Small mercies worth waiting for
We need so little
The treasures endlessly sought

Taking sides, we argued points
Then we would shake hands
Now it’s vicious and puerile
From our digital bunkers

Tanka: Marlowe’s End
Officially dead
A strange mysterious end
Debts paid in Deptford
Your legacy is besmirched
Talents ever apparent
*427 years ago today the poet, dramatist and suspected intelligencer or spy, Christopher Marlowe, officially died in Deptford, east London.

Tanka: UFOs
UFOs are real?
Then what is their origin?
That is the question
Multidimensional realms
They are closer than we think
