Nature cries relief
Three days filled with clouds and rain
Free from scorching heat

Haiku – 3 Looks at Frog
A slimy red tongue
Zipping through the warm swamp air
Frog snatches a fly

Under a red sky
Frogs sing out to the morning
Hoping for showers

In the nighttime sky
Full moon casting its soft light
On the frog filled pond

Haiku – Distant Rattle
Loud train horn blowing
Across the solid steel tracks
Wheels rolling forward
+
There is just something about a train whistle. It reminds me of my childhood and staying the night at my grandparent’s house. She lived over in the coal area of the Appalachian Mountains and those coal trains used to rattle by a lot back then. Good memories. So, what do you think when you hear a train whistle?

Haiku – 3 Looks at Mend
Young wounded soldier
Nurse tends to his many wounds
Hearts fill up with love

Mom comforts her child
Mending a small tiny cut
Causing lots of tears

Two angry brothers
Hatred spewed throughout the years
Now mending their bonds

Haiku – 3 Looks at Bend
Pleasant start today
With cool air and morning dew
Summer bends to fall

Sometimes you must bend
Give in just a tiny bit
To make things better

Sharp bend in the road
Sports car going way too fast
Dead man’s curve ahead

A big mug today
Pushing sleepy eyes open
With lots of coffee

You may or may not like metal.
Just heard this great song.
Thought I would share it.
This will certainly get you going.

Haiku – 3 Looks at Court
Judge slams the gavel
It echoes around the court
Verdict has been reached
+
Her moment to shine
Basketball court falls silent
Final shot goes swish
+
Tennis ball bouncing
Across the grassy green court
Back and forth it goes

Haiku – Saturday August 27th at 8:22 A.M.
Light and fluffy clouds
Covering the morning sky
Starting to burn off

Haiku – Fall?
Parched and dry green leaves
Shifting and changing colors
In the intense heat

Anybody else finished with this hot summer? Drop me a yeah or nay in the comments below to let me know how you feel. I for one will be glad when the cooler days are finally here. Not cold days, just a bit cooler than the blinding heat we’ve had all summer.
