Tanka of the Day ~

    
Heat radiating 
    off the faded black highway,
        petal to the floor,
    flying across the desert
        on the Fourth of July . . . 
    

Haiku of the Day ~ Birds singing softly

     
Birds singing softly
        in the still of the morning;
    sunlight on the peaks. 
    

Haiku of the Day ~ I awaken to:

    
I awaken to:
    the sound of running water,
        the brushing of hair. 
   

Tanka of the Day ~ Dozing in my chair

    
Dozing in my chair
        sunlight peeking through the leaves
    dreaming of summer.
        A squirrel jumps down from the tree;
            the dog barks at its antics.
