Haiku!

.

Haiku days are here again... give us a haiku containing the word Summer.

You can post it as a comment, or send it in with decorations (jpg or bitmap only please) for me to post, as you choose.

Apologies to those in the Southern Hemisphere who aren't actually having summer right now, but hey, you're outnumbered.

Here's one to start off with:

Rucksacks are rammed,
destined not for summer, but
south america.

Have a great 'summer' all and thank you for keeping me entertained when not revising for the last few months. I'll be back in autumn after an adventurous break.

Winter has hit us
Twenty-seven degrees now
Snow is on the way


Have a good trip, PG!

Thanks Pastagobbler, though I'm foxed if I know what I'm doing on this blog, you all seem to be very odd.

Have a wonderful time Pasta. I'll have an ice-cream for you on the beach - if the weather holds.

she seeks adventurous lands:
summer goes within :)

no siempre una golondrina es verano

Mid-summer day was more like mid-winter with storms and rain but not all is lost.

One swallow goes south
Takes our northern hope away
No! We need summer

I'm going nowhere.
Winter also goes withing.
Well, that's depressing.

within. Not withing. Duh.

Yeah, I thought you were trying out a provençal accent there, munni. Very appropriate for summer, I could almost hear the cicadas.

doggone it, link broke, trying again:

Practise the accent and sing along with the cicadas here!

munni: I thought you'd meant to type "winter goes writhing"
which I rather liked.

Summer cicadas
don't hoard riches; the ant says
Show me the munni

summer solstice gone
and the nights are drawing in
better wrap up warm

Aha, I thought the mention of haikus would bring a bit of Henry Moonlight!

Nice haikus and links, folks.
