Summer On My Lawn

patches of yellow
where the grass used to be green . . .
new blooms in the shade

under the bushes
abounding with red roses . . .
a black ant pile crawls

My grass is sure yellow... one of the hazards of summer living in a desert. Congrats on your win in the summer haiku contest ~ John

Surely you must have written this about my lawn!! Dry here in Colorado but finally had some rain today and more in the forecast. Great haiku and a certain top winner! - Bob
