What is a haiku?
A haiku is a Japanese poem with a total of seventeen syllables, broken into three lines (traditionally of five, then seven, then five syllables). Haiku in English don’t always follow the strict syllable count, and they can be endlessly creative, so have fun with it! Read more about haiku on Wikipedia.
Chores, work, things-to-do
Momma didn’t raise no fool
Find me at the pool
A day in the sun,
Without keeping track of time.
Now: peeling shoulders.
Spiral shaped
Ink,
Spilled on paper
Pencil line Lost
Cost.
The Summer Season
is between spring and autumn,
aren’t I creative?
Hot, Hotter, Hottest
Summertime Here In Texas
Quick – Get Me Some Ice!
Summertime is for
Playing in the golden sun
Come and feel its warmth
I want a notebook
To write and plan all my days
Please send me one now
Best time of the year
Is summertime to be clear
Come enjoy a beer
A Northwestern Bee
tastes nectar of a flower,
a hawk soars above.
Hot mist hangs in air
but at dusk it dissipates,
The night’s dance begins
Every day lounging
At the beach or in the shade
Ain’t summertime grand
There’s the pitch, strike three
The home crowd cheers, a shut out
The boys of summer
I need to write and
want to fill my life on page
and blank speaks loudly.
Blank pages stare back,
small worlds to place and explore,
book full, time is up.
Hot and sticky mess
With dreams of water time bliss
Stuck in work meeting
Crisp and cool AC
Meets sweltering heat outdoors
It’s a losing war
Homegrown tomatoes
Tall green stalks, red ripen fruit
Summer in a bite
Summer nears its end
Temperatures turn cooler
What fun we have had
Celebrate summer
Look forward to new seasons
With Moleskine Volants
As Summer sizzles
We play in the cool water
Oh for days of yore
