recuerda mi corazon: haiku my heart summer

June 14, 2012

haiku my heart summer

let's live suddenly

believe in nothing but love

brazen feet first plunge

***

it's heating up.

my wildchild drops feet first into summer.

heavy bees drone in languid flowers as

nights grow long with reckless

memories of love.

welcome to haiku my heart.

where you may join us

fridays,

gleeful for the chance to strip down to the barest essence

of expression,

visit each other with a vengeance,

leave comments with a passion

and lie in wait

for the next friday

to bare our souls all over again.

I love the photograph and haiku. Live suddenly? You mean there's no dress rehearsal?

Summer, welcome! Is this your son, by any chance? Near Idyllwild, CA there is a lake with a big rock that kids jump off of all the time. Me? Not a jumper but I'm sure ready to live suddenly and until the end of time.

Your photo and haiku are summer, itself!!

I liked the metaphor of 'taking the plunge!'

It's been ages since I jumped in the water... your haiku inspires me to try if I am still as brave as I used to be as a girl... hmmmm, feet first you say?

It is heating up. Next week is the Summer Solstice already! This is a wonderful reminder. I mention the seasons often, as do others. This is the time to enjoy the one we're in and let the others show themselves when it's time.

Peace
