Summer Reunion

Summer Reunion blue skies wave at clouds warm sunlight’s invitation ~ summer reunion four winds come gather from north and south – east and west ~ time for catching-up skies, clouds, sun and breeze all feast in sweet summer hours ~ cotton candy clouds black sheep clouds arrive bearing lightning and thunder ~ bright fireworks gift sun and wind chatter echoing conversations ~ moonlight memories

This is really cool, Sam--like a chain of haiku! Oh, I would have put it in the premier rank ....

Oh, thank you my friend! I know how you love the haiku format. I am honored! This was such fun to write. Almost didn't include the black sheep but there is one in every family. Couldn't leave them out! Hope you are doing well. Blessings!

Reunions are such a great source for word pictures of images and such a part of summer. The two just seemed to go together. Thank you for your visit and your compliments! Aloha!

Reunions are fun. I was hoping to capture that spirit through the images. Thank you Jenish! All the best to you!

I like your gently inclined indents and your tilde after line 2, it makes for a nice visual appeal. And all the nature references of summer; sun, wind, clouds, breeze, then the 'black sheep' arrive with the fireworks of lightning. "Summer and winter and springtime and harvest; sun, moon, and stars in their courses above". Awesome summer haiku, my friend!

Thank you so much John! I wanted to do a poem on summer reunions and this is what appeared! So fun to use nature's elements as family members in a reunion - all star reunion! Hope you had a happy 4th! Grace and peace my friend!

Have been having fun with haiku and senryu. I thought the string was complete when the idea for the "black sheep cloud" came to mind. Thank you for your lovely compliment, Jan. Always fun to hear from you. Hope all is well.
