#cinquat

Ready your four bits and a buck:
on the toasted breeze, the repetitive jingle
induces a joyous, anticipant tingle.
Amok,
kids scamper for the ice cream truck.

#haiku / #tanka

twin sunrise halves
an umber globe released
peach juice sweetens the blade

— § —

a microscope slide
one drop of water imprisoned
teeming with life

— § —

poised on the birdbath
twitching feather boa tail
warily slack-jawed

on sighting lupin towers
first erupting into fire
