morning sounds (tan renga)

night rolled away
the street-sweeper’s broom
deepening dawn sounds

Mom’s morning routine (Solo Renga)

new dawn chirps
neighbour’s hound barks at sparrows
infant wails

gulls squawk broadcasts new day
Ah!! last gasps of espresso

eager suckling
mama coos at precious babe
creaking rocker soothes
