Unchanging Forecast

Summer heat ramps up.
My plans proceed in despair.
My spirit mired
~
My garden is parched.
I water plants as I can.
I fear some are missed.
~
They call out to me.
I can hear them in my dreams.
I sleep uneasy

NJ Tomcatx Date: 6/25/2021 3:33:00 PM I definitely liked this (esp. last stanza/haiku). I can't believe it's so hot in the Pacific Northwest right now. It's often been cooler than normal in my neck of the woods (NC) Login to Reply Ken Rone Date: 6/26/2021 7:41:00 AM I am pleased that you checked in and thanks for the read. It's the hottest I've seen here in my six decades! Has something changed?

Rama Balasubramanian Date: 6/25/2021 10:11:00 AM I faced same problem when I had plants in summer.earth just soaks up water and soil becomes dry again. Like your idea of writing haiku.

Michelle Faulkner Date: 6/24/2021 7:55:00 PM We are heading into 100 plus degree days here in Oregon (are you still in the Northwest?) and I've been worried about my plants too, am hoping I can give them enough water!

Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 6/22/2021 11:23:00 AM Hello Ron Ken, the dry heat is hard on plants and farmer's fields. Sometimes it takes a few days before it rains or weeks. I know when the rain comes the earth sucks up the water needed for the growth. Enjoy your day my friend.
