Groundhog Day 2012

If the little rodent had peeked out at Couchwood/Benton/Arkansas/USA, it would definitely have seen its shadow. Some of the things I saw or read are included in today's post.

TANKA
from the lowest branch
a squirrel watches the cat
on top of my car
at least, it's not
the other way around
~~~

CINQUAIN SEQUENCE
"Listen Up!"
Fellows,
be careful that
you give that ditzy wife
of yours the exact birthday gift
she wants.

"Boots!" she
said. "Not a book!"
She threw the birthday cake
and book at him, then choked the poor
devil.
(from "In the news," Arkansas Democrat Gazette)

TWO HAIKU
spring cleaning
on the warm winter day
early daffodils
~~~

six weeks
into winter, yet
the yellowbell blooms
~~~

TANKA
first scene this morning:
three fat-chested robins
rimming the birdbath
full of fresh rainwater
drinking ... drinking ... aah ... aah
~~~

SENRYU
"my cholesterol
is not where the doctor wants ..."
she eats an omelet
~~~
