Found here:
Created by Dennis L. Dean. The American 767 is:
a tristich, a poem in 3 lines. (Cool thing to know!)
syllabic, 7-6-7 syllables per line. Unrhymed.
The original prompt asked to include a bug. Not sure if that is part of the script.
But then I often go of script :)

Posting tonight since I’ll be tight on time tomorrow

until I arrive at my front door.

Finishing the Course
I am now close to  the home stretch
as a horse is
one to finish
a race, I am
I have traveled well worn routes
as a horse has
gone on ovals
or circle tracks
I long for familiar green grass
...local horses...
‘blue’ has been nice
but home calls me
(c)JP/dh
Found here:
The ‘Minute Poem’ = Poem in three stanzas.
Count syllables, no rhyme, etc required
8 syllables

Minute poem.


Note.
Kentucky is known as the "Bluegrass State",
a nickname based on the bluegrass

found in many of its pastures due to the fertile soil.

Matinee


book, play, movie; same title
all are slightly different.

of 'Mary Poppins' brought joy.

The Tanaga is a Filipino poem.  
It consists of four lines with seven syllables each; the rhyme scheme is AABB.
Traditional tanagas don’t have titles and are composed in the Tagalog language.  
Most have been handed down through oral history and contain proverbs and moral lessons.
(Similar to the tanaga is the ambahan, which has an indefinite length.)
The tanaga has been in danger of becoming a dying art form. The Cultural
Center of the Philippines and the National Commission of the Arts have been
trying to revive it. Several groups have been promoting the form in English.
The form is beginning to change slightly – not only are tanagas appearing in
more frequently in English, they are picking up titles and varying their rhyme

forms (for example, AABB, ABBB, ABAB, ABBA, AAAB, BAAA, ABCD, etc).

too frank
topsy turvy day had us
hunting for the Wright home here -
as it was a private place
footfalls had to be retraced

The signage was quite ‘frank’ “private residence”.

Tracing...
the buffalo lead the way
with the introduction of
corn whisky turns to bourbon
and ‘mash’ gets refined to drink

Note 'Mash' was once a waste product, which has since been recycled :)

summer (shhh) solstice
the longest day; there
on the window short lived bug
the unique mayfly rests, still
quieter yet lay
those entombed, stone markers scar
a dreamless green resting place

Note: I actually visited the cemetery first...
...don’t think I’d ever seen a mayfly so close.

A single Sedoka has six lines,
and the syllable count is 5,7,7,5,7,7

Just Karma 10 (plus) for June 2015 b

Just Karma 10
Yesterday
a full day of rain;
Saturday’s farmer’s market
still held court with food and craft -
explorations few
open a book, puzzles too
til time to sup with the crew
recognizing summer
(bonus haiku)
clear blue sky rises
the solstice announces brightly;
longest day arrives
