dried flower crumbled
underneath weighted sun rays
as Summer waxed full

Yes I’ve been watching the heat waves on t v
We in aust are used to it though and we would not deal with overseas winters either
My fave season is summer with daylight savings

Love your haiku cherrie !

A sweet brevity... the sun's radiant rays can surely crumble a full blossom....the summer's heat is like melted wax... love it!

Oh Cherrie what a lovely little poem... The kind that one reads over and over again.
A real delight...which I loved.
Lisa, dealing with the heat in Spain

[Cherrie Palmer]

Yes I guess your corner is really getting hit with the heat right now. Keep as cool as possible

[Cherrie Palmer]

I guess the 2nd part of my response didn't make it .
Thank you Lisa for your kind review 😊

Crushed with Sun drops and sprinkled with rain… I gather their kisses in a perfume bottle… dearly, Pat

Smells heavenly

Scented memories washed ashore… of the one I adore…. Pat

Very lovely

True to form. True to how we all feel right now. Dried crumbles of human beings crushed by heavy rays of sun. We need a contest for poems about cool breezes. Next one I write is going to be just that. I hope your next poem is cool! This was a hot haiku.

We are getting a beautiful thunder storm as we speak. I'm so greatful for every drop.

[William Michael Reeves]

Happily hit by lightning ⚡ thrilled to hear the thunder ⛈️! Enjoy

Nice effort, Cherrie. Haiku is a challenge but you have captured essence well. I was reading about Haiku the other day and the author of that article stated that the first two lines set the stage and then the last line is the Aha! moment for the poet, the sudden grasp of an understanding.
I have no idea if that is right or wrong, though. But it is an interesting thought.

Excellent Cherrie and you have the magic of the 5-7-5 perfectly. People seem to think I have something against the 5-7-5 but I certainly don't. Whatever floats yr boat definitely.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Thank you I strive to keep haiku's simple and about nature. Usually I am content with my efforts. But I hope to improve 😊

I don't think the Website will allow me to post the weblink, but if you go to Google Search Cherrie and type in 'Mainichi Haiku in English', you will have access to the Top English Language Haiku Website in the World - with an estimated Worldwide Readership of 50 million. You may find the approach to Haiku on the Mainichi site interesting hopefully.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Thank you Tony heading there now.

sunshine is too often associated with happiness...but sometimes...that happiness can be smothering to the point that we pray for the moon.

well done, Cherrie....you do really excellent haiku...

[Cherrie Palmer]

Thank you Jacob
I love the sound of a haiku and their images are always so clear. I like giving them a workout( regardless of the outcome) 😀
