Words fail
Meaning blurry;
Nothing rhymes

~~~~~~~~~


Upstairs apartment
Renovation works;
Pneumatic floor blast

~~~~~~~~~


Idle talk punctuates
Not much meaning;
Bizarre thoughts

Ample assets;
Tipsy tryst

~~~~~~~~~


Orange butterflies
Dazzling flights;
Breezy patterns

~~~~~~~~~


Wavy handwriting
Cursive scripts...
