Haiku/ senryu-- actual, found and fancy

                Son Eric's backyard last summer. His photo.
 
 
calico sniffing
the cherries and pear
in the new kitchen rug
~~~
 
bermuda
growing better
in my flower beds
[from Janet Carson, AR Living, June '14]
~~~
 
a former rent house
now only an old picture--
the new school building
~~~
 
shorn by funnel cloud
it will never again shade
the old man's milk cow
~~~
 
working the crossword
a mosquito grazes
the top of my pen
~~~
 
male cardinal
on a limb
above the red truck
~~~
 
dusk
stomping the roach-shaped leaf
into the carpet
~~~
 
thirty minutes
after 'lights out'
thinking of another poem
[written 10 years ago to the date]
