My First try @ a Tanka (5/16/11)

Emotions run deep
Love can cut off all reason
Greed blinds the naive
        Hatred may darken blue skies
        And yet we live for each one

Raindrops fall from eyes
        Waves tear open rugged hearts
Winds whisper love songs
        Echoes cry from mountaintops
        "All I can think of is you"

Soldiers defend us,
they die for us to live free.
        Soldiers, broken for us,
mourn for their fallen brothers
as we continue our days.
