I am a student in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where I've been writing haiku and tanka for a little over a year. My work has appeared in Simply Haiku and Modern English Tanka's "Landfall" anthology.

This is really nice, vivid in a small way. I’m partial to multisensory haiku, especially when one of the senses is smell.

Very nice haiku, it really sends the atmosphere and that moment of the street fair clearly to me.
Just wondering if “scent” was considered alongside “smell”? Just a minor curiosity.
Nice! I like the mix of hippies (patchouli) and commerce (price tag)–that’s a street fair, all right.
Striking immediacy. As Jennifer said, it’s got that secondary meaning richness.
