A Handful of Haiku: Laughter of the rain

Middle of July
Breathless days and sauna nights
Summer's lethargy

In their garden pool
Irises rise cool and tall
Like pastel water

Laughter of the rain
Crisp and clean like silver bells
Cool as lemonade

Larking breezes spread
The old secrets shadows tell
In idle gossip
