Ken Rone Poet Haiku

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

Richard Lamoureux July 22, 2021 at 5:05 AM Poor plants. It’s pretty hot here too. Forest fires everywhere.

Jim Tomcatx June 25, 2021 at 3:33 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) Ken Rone June 26, 2021 at 7:41 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 June 25, 2021 at 10:11 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. Ken Rone June 26, 2021 at 7:43 AM Your compliment is very much appreciated Rama. I am glad to see you here again. Best wishes - Ken

Michelle Faulkner June 24, 2021 at 7:55 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! Ken Rone June 25, 2021 at 8:32 AM Yes Michelle, America's Vancouver here. 107+ here on Monday. I hope you have relief wherever you are. - Ken

Darlene De Beaulieu June 22, 2021 at 11:23 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. Darlene De Beaulieu August 20, 2021 at 3:34 PM Hello Ken Ron, I hope you are enjoying your summer. I wish you the best. Enjoy your evening my friend. Ken Rone June 26, 2021 at 7:44 AM All my best Darlene. Have a wonderful summer. - Ken
