A Double Handful of Haiku: Good-Bye To Summer

As seasons change we Watch in awe as Nature works Her silent wonders On summer mornings All the world is bright and fresh And brimming with life A fickle lover Summer steals a kiss then runs Straight to arms of Fall Indian Summer Autumn nervous in the wings Tough act to follow Seasonal job ad Summer tenure ending soon Needed temp for Fall

Such a lovely set of Haiku poems Jim. Love all your skilled, chosen words to describe so much. ‘Her silent wonders’ ‘ Straight to arms of fall’. Wonderful. They all fir perfectly together. Really enjoyed reading them. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you. :):)
