[thanks to all the LexPoMo folks! I started to run out of time for reading and commenting the past 2 weeks, but I at least stayed faithful to the mission!] 

Counting syllables
in the Hilton Netherland
haiku convention

The air clears of smoke
while heat overtakes the place
blast furnace city

pre-teens in sequins 
descend on Paycor Stadium
blooming Swifties
