Edwin Tanguma Poems

Her Sweet Brown Eye Sure Made My Heart Swell (A Limerick)

I could not make heads of her soft tail
If I did they might throw me in jail
...

Here in the US
Public lands are that Public
...

I opened the package carefully
And took two snowballs out
I had to lick the first one
Just to remove all doubt
...

What makes me feel sad
I see homeless everywhere
Many of them skilled
Bankrupt cities make the news
...

I am all alone
In this world filled with lions
...

My God is jealous
My God is a God of love
...

(Tanaga)

When it comes to poetry
One's experience is key
...

Wouldn’t it be great
If building supplies were free
Homes could be rebuilt
Brought up to codes and standards
...

If it is his will
My Father will deceive you
...

Solomon was wise
Yet even unto this day
...
