Haiku Friday: What to do in July

 


Ah, July! If you live in the North, there is nothing else like it-- it is literally the only month that there hasn't been snow somewhere in Minnesota. Let's haiku about what you do in July. Here, I will go first:

Calm lake, a slow boat
There are fish down there, I know
But this is enough.

Now it is your turn! Just use the 5//7/5 syllable pattern and have some fun!



Comments:
Balcony looms like
A forgotten oasis
Blooms,birds,piercing green
 
I discover you
‘Neath frond of fern,bright as sunsmile
Hiding from winter..
 
The peaches explode
On my tongue, from silver tin
Mother has made pie!
 
Thorns’ mosquito kiss
Do not deter me, for I
Know luscious jam comes
 
Brown,roiling water
Covers us, we yelp,puppies—
Play—agua heaven
 
Hot and humid on
The Outer Banks in July.
Sand in flip-flops.
 
Big golden sunset
at the end of a day that
I wish never ends.
 
Sweet days of summer,
zucchini’s in bloom. I pick
it, bread it, fry it!
 
There's not much better
Summer in Minnesota
The U P also

 
Visiting family
Long hot days on the highway
Trav'ling here and there
 
Saturday morning
Walking the Farmers Market
Ruby red radishes

 
Kids play at the pond
Evenings last 'til after bed
Fresh fruit all day long
