Excellent NaPoWriMo 16 - Cinquain Tanka Highlights of Home : O for Pati-O by Mama Baer

____________________ 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. ____________________   Author Notes 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.
