Summer Winds

summer winds arid whirlwinds spin spread scent of dried pine needles ~ forest pursues rain sirocco mistrals winds gusts wither tumbleweeds ~ summer heat shivers parched solstice tempests leave stale breaths of dusty thirst ~ cedar incense thrives dull drafts sear and whine spinning pinwheels freeze dry mists ~ twisted pines drop seeds empty typhoon breaths shrivel the empty zephyrs ~ doves seek aspen boughs snowstorms of sizzle predict signs in winds of change ~ dog days pant dryness 7-5-22 Syllables check with www.howmanysyllables

Paul, so good to hear from you! Thank you for your wonderful, uplifting words! So glad to have your company on this summer wind rushing through the summer sky! This string was such fun to create as I looked outside my window at the fog and the wind! Blessings to you! Hope you are well.

It's official: Writing haikus are a breeze for Ms Kaufmann. Great descriptive writing Sam. Are the 'Summer heat shivers' you refer to those ripples in the air caused by the sun? Cheers - Gary

Gary, thank you many times over! I always look forward to your ever thoughtful, and thought full, messages! One of the elements that I love about haiku is its descriptive focus! And, yes but also I had this image in my mind of the heat shivering when the mistrals started to blow. Take care. Cheers across the pond! Love your double entendre!
