Blazing hot days, cooling rain, thunder afternoons. We’re at the height of summer, moving toward an easy-going August and a slowly arriving autumn. Here are haiku to applaud the season and our fortunate lives.

first firefly

flaring on the upswing

true summer

he chanced upon

the summer

of his innocence

_______________________

sudden fall

of summer rain

that wild calming

_______________________

drift of clouds

beyond

the summer oak

______________________

dog poop

on my summer sandal

the unity of being!

______________________

pitching easy

soaring high

carefree softball summer

_______________________

the clarity

of blue summer

awakenings

________________________

too hot, too cold

too damp, too dry

the seasons humanized

_________________________

you say yes

I say no

immensity

________________________

dreaming winter

in sullen summer

________________________

feel-good feet

massage the earth

meditation ramble

_______________________

children’s voices

piercing sweet

her summer office window

_______________________

lilt

of summer air

the shadowed garden

________________________

one gaze

one touch

one thought

serenity
