Summer Time



longs days stretch awake
abundance a garden sight
birds and bees gather

adorn rose perfume
mown grass smells of warm sunshine
summer melts on tongues

Jeanne, I do love the smell of newly mown grass (as long as my allergies don't kick in!) Congratulations on your #1 placement in the haiku contest ~ John

Good afternoon Mr. John...I have the same problems with the allergies, so in Mexico I have no lawn, but here in Bellingham I have 2 acres of it...now I let 1/2 of it go to tall grass which is so pretty and still get the smell of the cut lawn. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. :D
