releasing
balloons is
rewarding
once more, we're sending
youngsters for more

these maples stand guard
oops, a fallen leaf!

cautiously homeward

..instruments

on the beach,
they discovered string sections
on each other's toes
sumptuous sonatas became
their joined lips too...summer

..inasmuch

inasmuch
as the rainbow
will soon fade
do not all who witness it
hold their loves more tenderly

Tanka..cantaloups too

this nocturnal bliss
is a fine magic carpet
one extols seashells
as soon as it is written
then, cantaloups lay claim
