rafting down river beneath blue sky canopy -- songs of nature play riding the rapids tossed up and down to and fro -- summer crescendo

Hi Kim! Wonderful imagery in your "bouncy" haiku! Great sense of motion! Terrific theme choice for a very innovative summer haiku! Congrats and high fives. Going to find a towel to dry off now! Blessings. PS - wonderful to have you back in the soup surfing the poetic waves!
