dog days of summer
light that strays then reappears
one last surrender
i would be hard pressed to tell you where summer has gone.
long languid days now slip through
fingers.
looking up at sunset,
so soon?
as nightfall sips at the remnants of day.
suddenly it's friday and all the haiku hearts
are chasing the light.
like the last blooms of summer
savor each offering
and leave a sweet taste of pollen in your wake.
after all
is all about being together
and speaking from the heart.

may we all be blessed by every last sip of warmth and sunlight as the days continue to shorten, the cold sets in, and we must warm ourselves with delight in the shift in color palette.

It's hard to say what I'm missing most: the summer that's almost past, or the way a couple dozen or more people used to participate in Haiku My Heart every Friday.

each year I think that summer won't fly by, but it does! today's temperature announces that by the calendar or not, autumn is here.

I think now, after 26 years in the valley, I've grown used to the heat of summer. Perhaps it was being home after our long period away that made it more bearable. Whatever the reason, it's good to know that next summer will not be so dreaded. Even terrible heat can become a welcomed friend.

I must admit, I'm not looking forward to the approaching winter but I do feel grateful for your words and image today, Rebecca, they do much to warm my heart on this chilly day here in the North.
