yellow-green frilly
kale is settled in a bag
by two gentle hands

Tanka 110
The squirming baby
The mother tying the strings
of the blue-striped cap
The shoppers move around them
impatient and unsmiling

Assorted lemons
tied up in yellow netting
held up to be weighed
roll and tumble in the hands
of the nonchalant cashier

Flimsy shoes
No socks Frigid cold:
Trifecta
of teenage
midwinter footwear fashion.
Let’s see those blue toes.
