Piper
She leers at him thru
the redwood fence separating
our yards while yelping
hysterically vying
his favor, adoration.
He ignores her which
causes her to step it up
one more notch reaching
her pale paw thru the red slats
tempting and tantalizing.

Nice form, Linda. : )
thanks- double tanka
“Tempting and tantalizing” – oh yes!
Double tanka, cool.
Is this about a cat and a bird?
No- two dogs! Piper jumped the fence last week and was at our front door trying to get in! She has the hots for my dog Percy!
Aww, I should have got that from “yelping.”
lol! well drawn!
I like your use of form. Well done!. I’m glad I discovered that Piper was your dog’s name in the comments.
I wonder if the title “Piper and Percy” might work since each stanza is about the two dogs? Just wondering, not a criticism at all.
