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!)
