Haiku – Saturday Afternoon, July 11th
Abundance of sun
Parted clouds opened up wide
Revealing blue skies
-
Haiku – Unfinished
Thunder and lightning
Nature’s electrical dance
Those are the first two lines. Now, I need some help figuring out how to close this Haiku. I like all three of these lines, but I’m not sure what best fits it.
Here are the lines.
A. Takes two to tango
B. Across tonight’s sky
C. Across the night sky
Any thoughts as to which one is your favorite? Can you think of another line to close it with?
I’m leaning more towards A. myself.

Haiku – Liquid Slumber
Night time rain shower
Rolling gently off the roof
Putting me to sleep
+
I hope you guys have a Happy 4th!

Haiku – Leaf
Hanging on the tree
Sharp green of spring and summer
The color of fall

Haiku – Double Edged
A rose has two sides
Cut by its sharp sticky thorns
Kissed by its beauty

Haiku – In the Distance 2
Watching thunderstorms
Rolling in as night returns
Lightning cuts the black
+
The first one: In the Distance
-
Haiku – Scorcher
Sunshine and blue skies
Like a hot burning fire
Day starting to bake
+
I wrote this one this morning when my son and I went out for a walk to the park. I thought we went early, but by the time we got home at 9:15 we were sweating buckets. The site A Prompt Each Day had the word “fire” as the prompt for the day, and I thought this Haiku would fit that prompt perfectly.

Haiku – Hot Expectations
Coffee in my cup
Soft Sunday morning sunrise
Heat wave on the way
+
About to get blasted with heat down here in N.C. – four-day stretch next week for highs: 99, 100, 98, 99. And that isn’t even factoring in the heat index. Guess summer his here.
How do you deal with the heat?
Me, just stick inside where it is cool.
-
Haiku – Welcome Moisture
A barren parched land
Drops of rain falling softly
Quenching nature’s thirst
-
Haiku – Calling all Sprinklers
Heat wave coming on
Days filled with ninety degrees
Starting to cook here
-
Haiku – Nature’s Song
Bird’s singing outside
Happy for the rain last night
Time for a quick bath
+
Big storm last night, mostly liquid, no thunder or lightning, but the showers were so heavy at times that I thought the roof was going to cave in. Woke me up for a bit.
As a sidebar, I have started a new blog with a couple of buddies of mine. It is a blog about trying to be a Christian and walking with our faith each day. Tough to do. Here’s the link: unitedbythree.wordpress.com
Thanks for reading and following.

Haiku – Pond
In the lily pads
Dragon flies and tiny frogs
Enjoy the day

Haiku – Gentle Waterfall
Splashing and crashing
Over the rocks you tumble
Peaceful sounds you make
+
Had a great morning with my son and parents watching easy breezy waterfalls. Thought I might post something about it.
