Delightful monoku, Michelle, with some really nice assonance. I love 'sunburned skies'. We had some of those just last week! Peace, John

This year, I'm glad to see them go... Not as big a fan of the heat as I used to be! ~ Cool Cucumber

I can see the birds migrating now, Michelle. A lovely monoku featuring a scene many of us have enjoyed! Hugs, Carolyn
