Haiku syllables
Are seen as five, seven, five
Some of us can't count.

Just noticed this thread
I thought I would have a go
Did I do it right

Just googled haiku
It should include a season
How about summer

I’m just warming up
Are you really ready man?
You know how this ends

With neither of us
Winning a single darn thing
But having great times?

Definitely fun
And is always a pleasure
We will never win

Who would want to win,
When they took could be losers?
Losers just like this?

Sharpening my skills
Having fun with shadystump
Better than winning

Summer is here, Grow!
Ack mites! Eek sooty mold! No!
Taste my neem oil pests!

Summer is short here
Not much time for my plants to grow
It still beats the snow!

Golden sunbeams dance,
Nature's palette comes alive,
Summer's warmth embraced.

Michigan Summer!
The warmth has finally come.
Enjoy; cold is nigh.

"I drink", the man said,
"and I grow things," he added,
as the seagulls squawked.

Coffee in the fog.
Sun beams burn the mist away.
Has summer arrived?

Summer deep blue sky
Hands in mud, feel nebari
Deadly viper lurks

Warm Spring Leaves, replaced
Cool Summer arrives, Cold Nights
Tropicals displeased

A rainy season
Looms over the high desert
Most unusual

The Skeptical Yamadori

This Mountain, My Home
Its trials I’ve endured, but…
Will I survive you?

There once was a man from Nantucket
Wait
Sorry, wrong genre

Thanks for the good laugh

Man from Nantucket
Kept his bonsai in baskets
Roots wither in air

I have a small tree
Nature will surpass my life
This tree is for all
