HAIKU

 

a lone gardenia

blooming on a branch

I did not prune

~~~~
 

early morning--

robin forages from

newly-mown lawn

 ~~~~

 

SENRYU

 

a dose

of The Bobbsey Twins

before bedtime

 ~~~~
 

one month later

I restart my daily

haiku readings

FIBONACCI

 

"At Dairy Hollow"

 

Long

dead

trees killed

by climbing

ivy grown so long

it falls. The vines sway in the wind.

~~~~
 

CINQUAIN

 

"Fragile looking"

 

Tiny

web between two

split-leaf philodendron

leaves at risk of demolition

by wind.

 ~~~~
 

"New Players"

 

The cats

chase each other

through the yard where children

and grown-ups used to play softball

work-up.
