TANKA TEASER 1.

manipulating,

grotesque and sweaty fingers

reach for the button...

unleash waves of airborne death

to the silver uprising.

TANKA TEASER2.

I saw Jack today,

He was sporting a white coat,

Man! That dude is IN!

Everyone talks about him

(but none really like the guy)

TANKA TEASER3.

My lady looked sad

I gave her a pretty coat

She's blue no longer

People see her nice, new coat

And say how happy she looks

TANKA TEASER4.

Countdown: three...two...one

Feel the buzz, lift-off begun

Losing all feeling

Floating on a different plane

Will I see the Earth again?

TANKA TEASER5.

I COULD TAKE NO MORE...

AFTER ALL, HE STARTED IT!

Did I mean to kill?

I sure hit him hard enough

WHO CARES? HE WAS A LOW-LIFE!

TANKA TEASER6.

The air fills with song

Angels sing of the coming

You make the next move

You must open up to see

Could it be the promised one?

TANKA TEASER7.

He comes more often

as time goes by, even though

I try to put off

his visits, so unwelcome.

Why can't he just stay away?
