- Haiku X 281 - Summertime -

soft sunflower breath
                                      days of lingering beauty -
                                      hot shines heaven's eye

                                        in shimmering grace
                                    cheerful chirping of crickets -
                                           silver coin disuse

Bright summer days and cool summer nights are pleasant when sun is not in his fury. Relaxing on a hammock can be so cool....! Beautiful haiku and image.
