Summer Haikus

Wild sweet raspberries
The itch of poison ivy
Lightning bugs at dusk





Chlorine streaks my hair
Nose burns and peels, burns some more
Hated the swim team

Very nicely done. Two haiku. Maureen, welcome to Poetry Soup. "hated the swim team" delighted me in some weird way.

Thank you! We Maureens are going to be obsolete before too long. Not many babies with that name (although it is becoming a popular middle name!)
