A Senryu, a Something, & a 2 Versions of a Tanka

Sun beats down all day.
Fans blow the air around,
drying our sweat.

Sitting outside,
I scared the feral cats,
who only know me through
glass windows.

Lalla wrote that
she became a lotus
not a sedge flower,
which she thought was better
But aren't both beautiful?

Lalla wrote that
she became a lotus
not a sedge flower.
But I like weedy sedge flowers.
Some will say I missed her point.

Finally wrote something.

Cold June rain
& disappointing peaches...
Where are my wool socks?

-----

Bright white Summer sun,
pink-white blackberry flowers--
no fruit yet.

-----

Walking downhill,
assessing neighbors' yards,
smelling their roses.
