Watching as you leave…
August, you brought lots of sunshine,
Must I say goodbye?
I am not looking forward
To those Fall days
Of less sun and shorter days
That September brings.
Oh, that Summertime would linger
Instead of running away.

Heat Wave
Remembering winter
Keeps me cool, as the
Summer sun beats down
Syllabic Verse
These last few days have really been hot here in my area, 100 degree days. It’s pretty hot but I am not complaining because I remember how long it took for our weather to warm up and how many chilly days we had to endure waiting for this summer weather.
So I am just doing my best to stay fairly cool and enjoy it while it lasts because summer will be gone before long!
Haven of Rest
Come sit awhile
On the comfy garden bench,
Neath’ the tall pine trees.
Let the sun melt away your cares.
Close your eyes and rest.
Nature’s tranquility
Will refresh your soul,
And you will leave renewed
To face another day of life.
Choka
Finally…:)
Happiness realized
In my little world today
Promises fulfilled
Day’s filled will sunny smiles
Summer finally woke up!
Tanka
Summer is finally here and I am doing my happy dance! Temps in 75 to 80’s today and all next week! Yay!!
Anticipating
Waiting,
For summertime.
Looking for the sunshine
To chase away the dull gray days
Of life.

July 5th and it’s still cloudy, gloomy, chilly weather outside. We are ready for some warm, sunny days, but still waiting for summer weather to arrive. Hope it does soon.
Missing Summer
News dampens spirits,
Is the weather mimicking?
Summer has vanished
Haiku
It’s July 2nd and in my area of the Pacific Northwest we are experiencing what I feel is a late start to good ol’ summertime.
The weather has been very changeable, quite like the daily news reports.
We’ve had a few warm days but not many and it seems more like Spring to me instead of Summer, as each day I awaken to gloomy cloudy skies, chilly temps and occasional rain sprinkling, this can put a damper on one’s spirit quite like the morning news reports often do lately.
Sigh. Oh where, oh where has my beloved Summer gone? Has she vanished with all our other normalcy?
I hope not. I hope she returns soon. I miss her sunny smile and gentle hugs of warmth.
How’s the weather where you reside? Are you experiencing the same, or does Summer alive and active in your area?
Daisy Day
Sitting there alone
I spy a group of cheery faces
Peeking up at me
Senryu
Just can’t be sad when there’s a bunch of cheerful daisies surrounding you. 😊
Blazing Banner
Across the heavens
Stretches a banner of fire
Blazing summer sun
Haiku
All day I enjoyed the presence and the heat of the Summer Sun that has once again visited my area in the Pacific Northwest. I love summer and sunshine!
Last night that summer sun left us in a blaze of fiery red, orange and yellow glory, stretching across the western horizon like a banner. It was amazing to see the beauty of it!
I was able to capture it with my cell phone camera but the picture just doesn’t show the full depth of its intense color.
Welcome Summertime!
Twenty Two days since
June arrived to bring us
Summertime again
How long we have waited
Anticipating
The sunshine to greet us
Each morning we woke
And now in the midst of it
We treasure each moment
Choka
Dreary Day
Some days
You just have to
Be creative
Formative
And design your own sunshine
Using whats given
