Don’t tug / Summer heat / To fill a pie / Hopeful

Don’t tug!
Like everything else,
blackberries
come off their vines easily
when they are ready.

Summer heat—
Dandelions stare at the sun
unharmed.

To fill a pie, use
both ripe and unripe berries.
As in the world,
sweet and sour are needed
for the desired taste.

I’m not happy with this one. It needs work. Too didactic & not natural.

Hopeful,
a bee hovers over
a glass of lemonade.

And Another!

Sweet, seedy figs bridge
this hot Indian Summer with 
cool, windy, cold Fall.

I long for figs--
sweet and seedy Summer fruit
praised by ancients. 

August Daily Blog Challenge Post 3: a Pleasant Memory

Here are two!

Feet buried in sand;

waves effervesce in sunlight;

seagulls chase white foam.

Warm, sweet berries burst!

A sweeter counterpoint of

brown sugar and—Bliss!


I thought about explaining my haiku about these memories, but I realized that explaining means I don't think my poems did a good enough job, so...  Let's hope they did & I don't have to.

Ancient Dulcet, join
me with sweet past histories,
if there are any.
