Monday night, and Ron’s Haiku Challenge. The words this week are Summer & Fun.
I had a great deal with these words! Sorry but due to a headache, I haven’t sorted images out, but I managed to write a few bits!
I thought I would try a few different formats, so here goes! I hope you enjoy!
Summer Lovin’ – Traditional Haiku – 5/7/5
Love in the summer
Joy filled heated days and nights
Autumn quenches thirsts
Remember When? – Haiku 3/5/3
Summer days
Oh, the fun we had
Memories…
English Summer – A Haibun
Well, how can I write about summer without mentioning our famous English summers! We are lucky enough to get all four seasons in one day here at times, and when it comes to summer, yes, there can be glorious weather, but this year, as with s many others, June has had heat, then the weather has swayed back to thunderstorms, and heavy downpours. Some areas even had hailstones last weekend! So this verse is a tribute to our summers.
Welcome to England
We have a one day summer
Make sure you have fun!
Baby Boom – A Haibun
Do you ever wonder why there is an extreme number of babies born at particular times of the year? Trace back 9 months and check the weather. It was either cold, so there was some interesting methods of body heating going on, or it was the height of summer, and the heat’s aphrodisiac quality hit home!
A Season of heat
Welcomes fun filled siestas
Cue a baby boom!
Tranquility – A Tanka
A hot summers day
Bees flitting from bloom to bloom
Buzzing past my ears
I sit, cocktail in hand
Enjoying tranquility
Life Cycle – a Freku
In the spring of life
You learn
In the summertime
You earn
As autumn comes
You yearn
In the winter
You burn
~
Whichever season
Spring, summer, autumn, winter
Each of them bring joy
Well, there you have it… My headache-fueled verses. Please let me know if I should really be in bed, sleeping the headache off, or if I need to endure more pain to create decent verse!
But I Smile Anyway...
