Purple bruises bleed
into summer’s sky
sun sighs and succumbs
ii
Summer dilemma
green can’t decide what to wear
too many choices.
iii
Blue heron descends
splashes in cobalt water
revels in June warmth

Bright summery use of color make these haiku stand out and give them shape. I especially like the middle one.

Yes with the hot and humide coming in
The green could crumble like a tin
Turning to brown rather fast
As the heat becomes vast
Nice one shot today

dear victoria,
you have handled every word so delicately, using colors as if you were painting your poetic haiku with the softest of brushes…i especially like “purple bruises bleed into summer’s sky”….what a imaginative way to picture the many shades of purple in a setting summer sky, as if the sky bruises as it folds away into the horizon…love the photo of the cobalt blue heron…
lovely sensitive writing…
sincerely,
