#haiku & #senryu

yet another draft
the bard shapes filigree
from words of putty

— § —

the urban gardener
sows patches and rows
for a crazy quilt of greenery

— § —

the husky gentles
a yowling child, allows rough pats
on furry rump

#haiku

rush to beat the truck
dawn robbers of detritus
balaclava'd saints

— § —

a freed chunk of ice
scuds along the cleared driveway
to score a field goal

— § —

cutting turnip greens
a blur of red-orange and black
my fellow gardener

A new-to-me writing prompt:

Your Daily Word Prompt (#YDWordPrompt):
https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/
(Today's word: gumption)

I found another writing prompt from WordPress itself, but for several reasons I can't endorse it. For instance, the tag they want you to use, WordPrompt, is too generic and ill-chosen: you're not posting a word prompt. Also, the only sources I've found are WordPress's accounts on Twitter and Facebook (echh, ptui!)—oddly, not on WordPress.
