A just-for-fun entry to the May 6 Writer's Cramp

English Tanka ▶︎

Summer
hummingbird:
feathers
irridesce;
wing’d beauty

A cow
can chew cud
all day
and never
have enough.

Sylvie’s
silky hair
wind-blown
in my red
convertible

And just for fun, one that rhymes:

Au pair
Standing there
so fair.
Children’s care
with great flair.
