Notes About The Poem

Down In the Summer

Pink throated hummers
deep in the colorful blooms
thrum the only tune

cornflower blue skies
hummingbirds in plums and reds
whipped cream clouds adrift

the scents of sunshine
follow the day everywhere
into ruby dusk

Incredible haiku series. I loved all three but the last one is my best, the scent of sunshine is following everywhere, such fantastic imagery.
