life’s maelstrom whirls around
from passion to safer ground
even the doe will give fight
when dark anger clouds her light
life is not just white and black
sometimes, wiser to attack
cloudy days turn to sunshine
anger happens so won’t whin
life’s moments are treasure chests
I accept what life behests
walk my pathway as it comes
in wealth or degraded slums
Tanagas are reaching new audiences. As you might expect, new audiences bring changes. Today you will see Tanagas with titles and with new rhyming patterns (for example, AABB, ABAB, ABBA, AAAB, BAAA, and so on). Life advice (morals, ethics, proverbs) may or may not be present.

Ah…know how you feel, had the same problem when I came up against it at first…it just means that the end of the line 1 (A) rhymes with the end of line 2.(another A) The end of the line (B or second of a couple of rhymes) rhymes in at the end of line 4. So, AABB guess what ABAB means etc. 😉
