unfurl opulent carpets
for passing roebuck

industrious neighbors reinstate

#quintilla

Honey buttons down my collar,
bids me stand a little taller,
refolds my suit coat handkerchief,
evens the Winsor knot, as if
these touches proclaim, "A scholar!"

three fox kits gambol
amid the unmown fescue
cajoled by sparrows

sun-struck the kitchen window
tosses back a half-wit grin

#haiku / #senryū

a balmy zephyr
stirs the patio windchimes
flips pages, raises goosebumps

— § —

the super sweeps steps
gathers in the mail, litter,
tidbits of gossip

— § —

rock desolation
golden sunray stands stalwart
beacon of beauty

easy lap of oars
nightly slip along the stream
with binoculars

mesa foraging
cactus, sage, pleurisy-root
Western tea break

#haiku / #senryū

reaching out
old letters, old fetters
tossed on the bonfire

— § —

glint on the knife's edge
slinking from the crime scene
with pilfered cake slice

— § —

lazy chef today—
only half the pint of beer
makes the soup pot

#senryū

poor armadillo
ever clad in full chain mail
sand for a pillow

— § —

one sees on the beach
the most strangely wrought creatures
suntanning

blue hue I am there
strong memories are like that
A day at the beach!
