Today I broke a hundred

Meaning, I composed my one hundredth piece of writing for 2009.

Original riddle ( I hope; I haven't seen it anywhere else):
How can a poem be written, submitted and published all in the same day?
Answer: _ _ _ _

#99 - HAIKU
seventy-third year
picking my first bouquet
of dandelion blooms
[c patlaster 09]

#100 - HAIKU
after watering
a vase of dandelion
blooms in the window
[c patlaster 09]

#101 - HAIKU
still a week of June
seven-thirty CST
eighty-six degrees

FIRST DAY OF SUMMER 2009

HAIKU
first day of summer
an early-morning ground fog
over the hayfield
[c-patlaster 09]

HAIKU
whiff of camellia
the added reward
for sitting outside
[c-patlaster 09]

HAIKU
the kitten
like all others before him
learns to chase his tail
[c-patlaster 09]

SENRYU
affixing a stamp
suddenly, I glimpse in mine
my late mother's hand
[c-patlaster 09]
