Hot summer here in Columbus. Early mornings and sundown evenings the best for pleasant walking. Here are some haiku about this lush, ornery season.

summer moves slowly

summer passes quickly

what do you think?

he chanced upon

the summer

of his innocence

the clarity

of blue summer

awakenings

dog poop

on my summer sandal —

the unity of being!

drowsy lecture

summer tapping

at the window

____________________

first firefly

flaring on the upswing

true summer

____________________

dreaming winter

in sullen summer

____________________

summer evening’s

dark conundrum

katy-did/katy-didn’t

___________________

sudden fall

of summer rain

that wild calming

____________________

pitching easy

soaring high

carefree softball summer
