haiku

heat in forecast

my body insists 

it's already fall

haiku

possibly

the heat enthusiasts 

hide in cellars

poem

you just walk along

and beneath you

a much lower

groundwater level 

you just walk along 

a strong branch 

of this tall tree

could hurt you

this tree told you a lot 

this tree begged

now long intervals

between its whisper

(AW, Aug 2026)

 

haiku

summer sounds

the night's hum

of insects and tech

(AW, Aug 2026)

 

haiku

August heat

again too tired

to do all chores

(AW, Aug 2026)

 

haiku

favourite colour

washing raspberries

in a colander

(AW, July 2026)

 

haiku

after watering

an urban tree

does send good vibes
