Edwin Tanguma Poems

Pick The Door You Like 'Senryu'

Doors open and close
There are many many doors
...

Cuz My Milk Is Free (Senryu)

If I were a cow
You would not pay much for me
...

I'll Not Raise My Voice For It Is Written (Senryu)

I'll not raise my voice
Or cry out loud in the street
...

Some Believe That I'm The Beast (Bussokusekika)

When I judged mankind
I threw my signet away
...

Unlike Solomon's Temple (Bussokusekika)

I did not do it
My Father built his temple
...

Will Any Others Be Sealed (Triple Bussokusekika)

When I had my seal
I may not have been hasty
...

For The Last Fifty One Years (Haiku)

My Father raised me
For the last fifty one years
...

Things Are Going To Get Worse (Senryu)

My Father tells me
Things are going to get worse
...

Just Enough To Make Ends Meet (Bussokusekika)

I long for one thing
To be loved by My Father
...

For I Bring My Father's Law (Bussokusekika)

I'm no Jesus Christ
For I bring My Father's law
...
