Summer Haiku

                   

                    Hiding from the heat 

             Lime blossom scent in shadows 

                    Fanning the coolness

                     

                    A night in stasis

             The soundless storm prediction

                    Each leaf is counting

                    The butterfly thought

             A boy attempts a capture

                    Among the yellow

                    With autumns first taste

             The cobwebs moving question

                    A cool draft inspires

                    As the river flows 

              Sunlight touches in passing

                    A memory's pool

                   The sky announces

             The clouds part as a deference

                   August perfect moon

Oh, I love Haiku! It's such a beautiful form that requires careful skill and the beauty of nature to express what one feels and experiences, connecting nature and emotions in words condensed into an art form. You do a wonderful job with these Haiku and I commend you for your mastery.

' The butterfly thought ~ A boy attempts a capture ~ Among the yellow '

I feel as if I've just eaten a truly delicious feast! These are more than fine senryus, have exqusite phrasing and are immensely graphic.
