summer troiku

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai #1845 Troiku Challenge: Summertime

at the seashore
wind of summer through my hair
the shortest night

—

at the seashore
small boy with his orange bucket
builds a new world

–

wind of summer through my hair
tells tales of the ancients
in a secret language

–

the shortest night
leaves lovers and dreamers
longing for darkness

haiku juxtaposition

dry and cracking earth
the farmer prays for relief
dust bath for sparrows

breeze in the Maple
creating tender music
leaves rustle softly
