A summer oldie for #HaikuSaturday #haiku #poetry (The ice melts quite fast. I guess I'll just replenish with cold water periodically.)

Oldie number 2 for #HaikuSaturday #haiku #poetry

And a new one. MUCH easier to write for #HaikuSaturday than to get out there with wheelbarrow, shovel, and all that mulch! #haiku. #poetry

Lying in the grass; Evening’s blessed coolness; Honeysuckle scent. #haikuSaturday

what does a tree know with no pictures of its past no parent photographs no snapshots of seedling years just to drink, to breathe, to grow #tanka #haiku #haikusaturday #trees #micropoetry #vss365

I had second thoughts - here is a new version - be like kintsugi: broken yearning for repair - in me and of me #HaikuSaturday but maybe more like a senryu than a haiku? still learning here...

You've painted a calm that I think we need right now - from misty sunrise, from shimmering heat haze, now bright boat emerges as a kenning light solidifying #HaikuSaturday #VersionsHaikuSaturday

Roused by lap of waves Summer sunrise bathes the boat How did I get here? #haiku #WritingCommunity #halfbadpoetry #HaikuSaturday #VersionsHaikuSaturday

My paddle lifted, I’m swaying on gentle waves— kayak or cradle? #VersionsHaikuSaturday

desert rain our parched skin relearns how to breathe #DailyHaikuPrompt #haiku

surrendering to the wind the sway of the pines on shore

somewhere between not enough and too much summer rain #dailyhaikuprompt #rain

unmoored swaying gently the moonlight...now sunlight #HaikuSaturday #haiku #VersionsHaikuSaturday

swaying birch branches dangling dancing diamond leaves peaceful revelry #versionshaikusaturday

a pride of dandelions basking in the sun tawny manes aglow #♡ᝰ.🖋️ #haiku #poetrysky #poetry #poem #blueskypoets #micropoetry #poetrycommunity
