Hi Tom! Always wonderful to hear from you! Hope all is well. So true! There is something very special about hearing the "ribbits" on a still summer night! Take care. Blessings!

Excellent Sam. I especially love that word ‘brocade’ and how you have used it to describe the pinks and daisies: “richly decorative shuttle-woven fabrics, often made in coloured silks and sometimes with gold and silver threads.” Just brilliant! :) Cheers - Gary

Hi Gary! So grateful and appreciative of your delightful note. Thank you! Describing summer with just one haiku is a challenge because I love writing haiku strings and there are so many wonderful aspects to summer. I am so pleased that this haiku placed. Always fun to come up with new words to express images! Hope you are having a great summer! Blessings and cheers to you!!

Hi Andrea! Thank you so much for your feedback and your vote of confidence! Much appreciated. Had fun with this haiku. There is something so special about summer time. When people ask me what my favorite season it I have to answer, the one I'm in! Hope you are having a spectacular summer filled with many blessings, my friend!

Hi Thriveni! Thank you. As summer is so filled with delight and delightful images it was hard to chose one or two for the haiku! But in the end flowers and frogs won out! Just fun! Sending you many blessings!

Thank you so much, Paige! I was hoping to capture that special summer spirit of loveliness with flowering meadows and swimming holes! Your words affirm my efforts! So grateful! Thank you! Blessings!

Love! Lovely imagery that makes me think of more than nature, perhaps also a little girl with a cute Summer dress and a boy (tadpole) swimming. :)

Hi Kim! It seems you and I are on the same page with little girls in summer rompers and little boys at the swimming hole! They are such sweet images of summer! Thank you for your note! Blessings!
