Four Haiku Celebrating Summer
1.
Crimson hollyhocks,
how many names of wild things
hide in your blossoms?
2.
The peony’s death
happened not in a moment,
for the drought was deep.
3.
A little girl waves
at some honeysuckle vines
shaking in the wind.
4.
This apricot’s flesh,
sweeter than any honey,
titillates my tongue.

It’s so cold here just now, it’s nice to have these summery verses to brighten me up.
It always amazes me how seasons are so different on different sides of the Equator. I’m glad these visions of summer warmed you in some small way.

Names of colors and flowers are one word poems!
I never thought of that!

I really adore the first one. There are so many worlds we brush up against every day. It’s kind of hard not to wonder about them, especially on a lovely day.
The first one is wonderfully whimsical. What’s not to love about hidden wilds, right? And the last is just… delicious!
Such ‘sweet’ creative haiku ~ Xo

These are lovely….I misread the first one….thought you wrote how many wild things are hiding in your bosoms…best laugh I’ve had all week…
From all those flowers you name in those beautiful poems, I like the hollyhocks the most! Enjoy all the beauty that’s around you and enjoy your weekend. Hug from Holland
I love them all but #3 tickles my fancy most
