Some oldie but goody haiku and tanka for summer heat. Most have appeared previously on one or another of my blog posts.
Waiting
for what ?
firefly
after
firefly
~
fireflies
float
night
into
my
bedroom
mirror
~
a cicada’s
raucous call for a mate
makes me wonder…
should I wear
my low cut
dress tonight
~
night
of shooting stars
a naked beach
and foaming waves
oh to be so seductive

blue again
no summer sky
blue… that blue
deep into the wail
of a saxophone blue
