soft sunflower breath
                                      days of lingering beauty -
                                      hot shines heaven's eye

                                        in shimmering grace
                                    cheerful chirping of crickets -
                                           silver coin disuse

My kind of day! Love it! Silver coin takes you no way far, in the US, these days -- takes countless.

Bright summer days and cool summer nights are pleasant when sun is not in his fury. Relaxing on a hammock can be so cool....! Beautiful haiku and image.
