2023 Summer Haiku "Contest"

Time for another Haiku "Contest"!

In honor of the official arrival of Summer (for those of us in the northern hemisphere), let's have a haiku contest / tool give-away! The rules will be the same as last time - in order to enter you just have to post a summer-themed haiku. Haikus will not be judged for quality. You can post more than one haiku, but you can only have one chance in the final drawing (ie posting more haikus do not improve your chance of winning). Entries have to be posted by midnight, June 30, in whatever time zone you live in.

The winner will be chosen by random drawing from all entries. The winner will receive a Wazakura 7.24" Triangular Blade Chisel (a $95.99 value). I will contact the winner via PM for name and shipping address. I will ship free anywhere in the world that allows me to ship blade chisels - but if there are tariffs or taxes or fees, that's on you.

To write a haiku
is not hard once you practice.
And it's super fun!

Aliens are here
There will be no invasion
They were always here
 
I'll try this again.


My trees are loving
Summer heat humidity
For me not so much
 
Barely surviving
Only thinking about snow
Nearly boiling here.

Summer will be long
Air conditioning on max
I might just pull through.
 
Yeah, which was the winning Haiku? I used to write them for fun!

He did just go through all that nonsense with servers, and the holiday before that so let's be patient.
He's never let us down before.

Yesterday our A/C blew up. So... a little drama in the household until we got that figured out. I am choosing the winner now!
 
SELECT DISTINCT u.UserName FROM users u
JOIN Posts p on p.UserId = u.UserId
JOIN Threads t on t.ThreadId = p.ThreadId
WHERE t.ThreadId = 60611

Beep beep boop

Congrats @Kanorin !
