Three Heat Haiku
chrysanthemum buds
brown before opening
in the prolonged heat
three cups of coffee
I still nod off mid-morning
in this year's heat wave
cats sleep in the shade
on the concrete window sill
is it cooler there?

Cinquain
Checking
out the purple
beautyberries, a small
woodpecker. Then, a hummingbird
appears.
Haik-sen-news
(my concoction: part haiku, part senryu, part news)
storm-damaged, empty
the cypress-plank home
an egret rest stop
