Haiku Friday: Summer skies



I've lived in very different places-- Michigan, Texas, and Minnesota, mostly-- and the summer skies are so different in each.  In Michigan, it can be heavy, laden with moisture.  In Texas, there was that big sky-- encompassing, magical, and unmistakeable.  Here in Minnesota, summer skies can be gentle in the day (the sun is not too harsh), but at night it is very different as the stars take over the sky, or even the northern lights.

That's kind of a vague haiku topic, huh?  But it can work… let's just say you can haiku about whatever it is you do under that sky.  Here is mine:

Backs on the green grass
The berm along Lake St. Clair;
Slow clouds and freighters.

Now it is your turn… use the 5/7/5 syllable formula, and have some fun with it!


Comments:
This week, Texas skies.
Moving from plains to mountains:
Next week, Utah skies.
 
Far from the city lights
Stars hang like sparkly jewels
Silent serenity.

"Wheee.....Let's go fast!"
Disrupting the stately elders
As it shoots past.
 
At the water's edge
We ponder the infinite
And swat mosquitos
 
Ice cold stars twinkle,
In endless black canopy,
Warm breeze on my face.
 
Star light, star bright, first...
My cousin repeats the same...
half a world away
