Conversation [Senryū]

face each other so that
their reflections can chat.

PROMPT: Animal

Daily writing prompt
Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?

A mythical one to be sure. Cobbled together and a product of pure imagination. Griffin, Minotaur, Dragon, Vietnamese Unicorn (not to be confused with the kind hung as posters on the walls of pre-teen American girls,) or something of that nature.

Riderless [Senryū]

riderless horses
race across the pasture:
finish line unknown

Panther [Lyric]

The panther is a scary cat:
Hardcore Hellcat primed for combat.
Except - that is - I have to say
The twenty hours it sleeps per day.
