Haiku Friday: The smell of summer
It is hot and sticky here in Texas. Summer is here. It comes early in and around Waco.
Summer has distinctive sounds and tastes, sure, but there are scents that go with it, too. Let's haiku on that today. The last line of your haiku should be "That smells like summer." Just slap a five-syllable line up top, then a seven, then my line, and you have a good haiku.
Here is mine:
Grill-smoke is wafting
Up past our balcony now;
That smells like summer.
Now it is your turn...

Tyd,
I am so sorry. It sounds like the state has just given up. I am sure that is so hard for you. Please consider an invitation to come to Texas next year for the state fair. You will love it (deep fried butter and cookie dough). We would love to see you here.
