summer time

sunflower faces
clocks heavy with time and seed...
sun-seconds passing

The alerts are out. The sun has hit Britain. Sunbathe at your peril. Could you please not water the flowers due to lack of water? How did we manage to rule the world.

Nice metaphor...No flocks of marauding sulphur crested cockatoos to descend and devour... only in Aus. J :)

Dear Charlotte, a beautiful, creative summer haiku. Vibrant imagery.. I especially love that second line! You've captured the essence of summer in the sunflower "heavy with time and seed" - brilliant! Warmest wishes, my poet friend.. ~Susan

This is really beautiful, Charlotte. 'clocks heavy with time' is my favorite phrase.

Lovely, Charlotte! That first line is thought-provoking. All at once I see, a child, the flower and a clock. Somehow or another when the child comes to mind I see freckles. Love that second line. Can dive deeper into the final line..slows time and yet I can feel those sun seconds. So lovely, dear!
