Haiku

summer residents

their all-night voices

deep in the woods

Cattails

Haiku: summer

 scorching heat

a breeze through the garden

teases the air

SxSE

Haiku

 change in the wind

the farmer down the road

manures his fields

Cattails

Haiku for summer

tea with a friend

the gray afternoon brightens

with Zoom

last book read

I fill a notebook

with doodles

constant motion

along the avenue—

another page turned

Haiku for Summer

                                                                         strains of Vivaldi
                                                                         the heat of the day remains
                                                                         in the stone patio

                                                                          morning chores
                                                                          pushing a broom against
                                                                          the heavy air

                                                                          heat wave
                                                                          again I learn
                                                                          to slow down

Haiku

fire-red lilies

a radiating heat

at sunset

between

the swelling sound of crickets

pressing heat

a misty beach walk

following the footprints

of gulls

Haiku

                                                     spring dawn

                                                     with the returning geese

                                                     my mind takes flight

                                                     yellow broom gone wild

                                                     the freedom to write

                                                     as I please

                                                   

                                                     moonless sky–

                                                     the deep night speaks

                                                     with many voices

Haiku

                                                   summer storm
                                                   the knocking wind
                                                   finds a way inside

                                                   the heat wave broken
                                                   morning coffee sweetened
                                                   with a cool breeze

                                                   city park
                                                   pausing for the silence
                                                   of grass

Summer haiku

                                          a dry white wine-
                                         summer breezes in
                                        through an open door

                                            nothing to do...
                                           we sit and listen
                                         to the pulsing heat

                                           summer shower...
                                   the sour smell of marigolds
                                           along the path
