CARPE DIEM #756: Summer Relief


Inspirations by Jane Reichhold:
a cool wind   
summer passes 
before it begins

late summer  
even hotter by the breath  
of dragonflies

mid-summer   
the sadness of knowing  
days growing shorter

by Kristjaan:
naked 
between summer flowers  
dreaming of next summer

tears shed   
on my naked body  
summer is passing


My haiku:
needing relief from
torrid temperatures… too soon 
 summer’s charm passes

sharing with Kristjaan's


Hoosier Quote:
“In order to live off a garden, 
you practically have to live in it.”
~Frank McKinney Hubbard~

Your haiku paints in a nice way the passing of summer Nonnie. Thank you for your nice comment on my post.
How well I can identify with your haiku ... summer is a lovely season ... August temps in June though are not so appreciated! Bastet
Yes, the warm, humid air of summer came too quickly...much prefer Spring and Fall...:)JP

Passing summer charm
Heated beast, smouldering breath
I melt, I melt, I . . .

complaints of heat
long since forgotten

Our teacher guided us to stand in front of the joint of the two rounded panes of glass,  leading us to realize that we cast no reflection. sharing with two of my favorite memes Rebecca's   Haiku My Heart and James' Weekend Reflections
