Things done in July
Lots of haiku action this week! We had this very small complaint from CraigA:
Hot and humid on
The Outer Banks in July.
Sand in flip-flops.

Sand in flip-flops.
And an anonymous reflection (you had me at "pie"):
The peaches explode
On my tongue, from silver tin
Mother has made pie!
On my tongue, from silver tin
Mother has made pie!
Des had two (the second of which I relate to); not only this:
Sweet days of summer,
zucchini’s in bloom. I pick
it, bread it, fry it!

But this!:
Big golden sunset
at the end of a day that
I wish never ends.

Tim was here, and heard:
There's not much better
Summer in Minnesota
The U P also.

And Christine had two gems, this:
Visiting family
Long hot days on the highway
Trav'ling here and there.

And this:
Saturday morning
Walking the Farmers Market
Ruby red radishes.

And so many anonymous entries, like this:
Kids play at the pond
Evenings last 'til after bed
Fresh fruit all day long.
Evenings last 'til after bed
Fresh fruit all day long.
And this:
Brown,roiling water
Covers us, we yelp,puppies—
Play—agua heaven.

Play—agua heaven.
And this:
Thorns’ mosquito kiss
Do not deter me, for I
Know luscious jam comes.

Know luscious jam comes.
