Congrats on the win Anne-Lise. One of my favorite fruits. In fact I just planted some sugar baby watermelon plants in my garden.

Anne-Lise, it has some very good qualities! It's great in warm climates since it also does provide hydration! Quite a sweet treat!! Smiles!

I do agree. Watermelon is so much sought after in the sweltering heat of summer. Quite healthy too. Lovely haiku. All the Best, Anne. Hugs!

Hello Sunshine Smile, When my husband was alive, he would juice a water melon. I really enjoy water melon that way. I do not eat water melons anymore. Hugs. /Darlene/

This is perfect. You did perfect, not as in 'you done good', but 'you done perfect.' This one delivered a lot, first, I want the watermelon, I love it and your words 'deliciousfy' it (just made that word up, you like?), second, because the ending really pivots just as it should be a Haiku ...
