Seox Hexastitch (3,7,6,5,4,3)

Smouldering

Steam rises from the sidewalk

Children bask in water

Fireplug sprays cool

Dance in waters

Heat relief

—-

Quatrain (4 lines, ABAB)

sunset colors glow

moonbeams lose sharpness

flowers bowing low

midsummer darkness

—

Shardoma (3,5,3,3,7,5)

humming drone

cutting the grass time

lawn duty

teenage job

sit back and enjoy wafting

soft new mown grass scent
