4 Summer Hiaku

A simple haiku celebrating Summer

         Summer haiku

         
The lake lies still -- still
Just before the sun comes up
And the birds begin.

A wild strawberry
ripe, sweet, still warm with life
melts on my tongue.

Twinkling with fireflies
moonlit honeysuckle vines
sweeten the night air.

Just one June
in a year of months
Don’t waste a minute.
