three cultural revolutionary tanka
three cultural revolutionary tanka
highest dimensions
souls reawakened
flourishing forces
veil between worlds uplifted
revolutionary wave
insurgent powers
on catastrophic courses
charge into the fray
take advantage of the weak
holding only humble hope
sensory rebirth
down to earth metaphysics
new world envisioned
cultural independence
streaming literary works

That pic is awesome as the poetry…

Weird, I am a big fan of Ken Wilber and while reading his books I come across these studies and theories done by others on memes…he has his own take on the work but these got me thinking in that direction because there is a natural evolution as each of these unfolds….I know kind of a weird review, but I have a tendency to write whatever I am thinking and my filter has been plugged for years. I loved these, fantastic.
Really thought-provoking Tanka!
You addressed some weighty topics here – way to be brave! These are so well written, and really make my mind stre-e-e-e-tch, which is good for it, though it’s painful, hee hee.
Very well said. I agree with Mary, very thought-provoking.

love the last one….and that lieterary works are streaming…they are often the tools of revolutionaries…strong tankas ma’am
Loved them all.
I had cleared my history and cache etc etc, I had to log into the old wordpress account to be able to comment again. Hope it’s fixed now… smh
You do this form very well. K.

These are quite the tongue-twisters – such extensive vocabulary!
I hope you don’t mind my pointing out a typo in line 2 of your first tanka: reawakened.
Heavy stuff handled with a wry and light hand…and thought provoking too! Well crafted. So glad you shared, you do these so well!
I like how you linked theme together in the three. Powerful words.
the second one made me ponder a while… humble hope is often stronger (in the long run) than insurgent powers… intriguing poems
😉
amazing tankas!
happy spring!
