The Unknown~Tanka

by Poet on the Piano   Jun 23, 2009


Steer clear of logic,
For there are forces present,
That dwell far beyond
Human interpretation.
Unexplained powers exist.

    You put a lot of truth and meaning into your poems, even if they are short forms of poetry. Another great write, theres not much I can say cause theres nothing to critique. Nice work.

    Deep, well put and very true MaryAnne:)

    Unexplained forces are there, yes....we are surrounded by mystery and I think deep down inside we all know that we are;)

    Good job,

    *hugs*
