Flirtacious, sultry summer
sizzles then rains cool
young men strut shirtless
female bosoms tempt their eyes
summer slyly bares their lust.
I do enjoy the Tanka syllabic form: 5-7-5-7-7.
Gives a little more leeway than a haiku:
when 17 just won’t do.

Happy Sunday, Lillian –
Gosh, I’m learning much from you – I didn’t know a Tanka from a Tonka (though, truth be told I’ve played with many a Tonka in my day ;)).
Your poem here today, gets right to the libido of the beach without all the fuss – yet – your words flesh out the sensual imagery so very elegantly like the sea 🙂
Hope you’re enjoying your weekend. Can you believe, I’m just having my first coffee of the day. House cleaning this am, boooo.
Hope all is well up in Boston.
