Good turn in the last line, my friend. Strawberries and sunflowers capture the essence of summer at its beginning and end!

Summer drought was taking place when I was in Florida a couple of weeks ago, then it looked like Monsoon season. Weather is unpredictably weird with climate changes. Great Haiku, Jan.

We are in the gulf stream Lin , The UK mainland had up to 30 degrees last week - we managed about 19 or 20 degrees for 2 days - then we had 'manannan's cloak' mist which even disrupted flights

thanks Lin, I changed my original poem as all i read was 'summer' and not 'nature' in my notebook at school lol I managed to get the last spot in the contest with this one. we have full reservoirs so no hosepipe ban for us, in fact I think we have had our 2 days of summer this week! hugs jan xx
