Summer


morning paints 
garden of tulips,
summer blooms

~0~0

bright tulips
dot fields of summer,
ice cream pops  

~0~0

yellow umbrella
seashore with noisy seagulls,
summer concierto

  5. Such refreshing and relaxing poems. I liked how you compared the tulips to ice cream pops in the second haiku. The first one is nice too - I imagined colorless tulips being splashed with morning paint.

    Beautiful imagery! :)

  19. I've always thought of tulips as true spring flowers, but I guess many places they are summer's harbingers :)
