Burning Question, Summertime Haiku Edition

In honor of the arrival of Summer, what do you love about this season? Your answer must be in haiku form. That is, three lines of prose: the first is five syllables long, the second is seven syllables long and the third is five syllables long.

Here's mine:

Golden dawn birdsong
Green soft grass barefoot running
Purple dusk porch swing

Okay, I love this! G-dawg, yours is pretty hard to beat. I'll probably submit more than one. Is that okay?

Sun thaw from snow drifts
Sun bath from sprinkler run
Sun time all the time

G-Dawg said...

Nicely done, jammin'.

Feel free to submit as many as you want.

Water splashing fun
Sun shinning hot on tan skin
Watermelon cold

Well done, young one. I'm inspired to submit another.

Sunrise early dawn
Sunset late in colored hues
Alive awake free

Okay, okay, here is a typical day in the AZ summer.

Scorching seatbelt on skin
Melted crayon in the car
Hot nights hot mornings

G-Dawg said...

"Melted crayon in the car"

That says it all.

smell of earth, bird song
and roses bloom all day long
cool breeze satisfy mom

Skivys worn at night

cold showers great fun

G-Dawg said...

Let's try it again, I'm sure everyone is done looking at this but I think I have a better one that really shows my love for summer.

Shorts worn with white legs showing
