Haiku Friday: When does summer end?
What does summer end?
To some people, it is when school starts back up, and to others it is when the leaves begin to turn. Geography plays a role, of course-- summer ends early here in Minnesota.
Let's haiku about that today. Here, I will go first:
There is that one sound
That a sleek flying goose makes
Southward now, southward.
Now it is your turn! Just make it 5/75, syllable-wise, and have some fun!

I have lived in three distinct regions of the US so here is my regional take on the end of summer.
Up North:
Sign "Closed for Season"
The lifeguard stand sits empty
The world moves slower
Upper South:
Ball Park, fewer fans
Traffic snarls behind school bus
Open the windows
Deep South:
Hurricane season
We watch The Weather Channel
Maybe November
