O for Pati-O

Swinging bench for two
a peaceful backyard
soothing crickets chirp
summer day winds down;
those darn mosquitoes.

Dad and Mom made plans;
pesky bugs no more.
Enclosed is the space;
now windows abound
on the patio.

As our family grew over the years, Mom and Dad wanted to create a more livable year-round space. So, when Dad retired, they turned the patio into an outdoor sunroom. We still had lovely late-night talks to cricket serenades, but no mosquitoes!

Thanks to JuliaSJames for her cinquain tanka and the shout out to Gypsy Blue Rose for creating this new form. Mine is also a cinquain tanka pair. Syllable count 5/5/5/5/5
