all the colorful wishes

(1)

so warm
the evening light
in your eyes

(2)

sweeping the sidewalk
all along the avenue
willows weep and moan

(3)

for an instant
a ship’s horn cuts
this heavy heat

(4)

caught in the rain
all the colorful wishes
hanging near the shrine

(5)

reading
by an open window
sweat drips from my brow

(6)

amidst rainbows
my neighbor washes
the family car

(7)

watching the trees
what kind of music
can they hear

Nicely done! There really is so much to see if you only take the time to look... Sounds like the rainy season has yet to pass you by!

The rain is lingering. Where I live, we usually get hit twice. It should clear up for a couple weeks pretty soon.

Great haikus with summer imagery and themes. I think we can all relate.

I didn’t know what you were talking about at first, but looking at my post again, I see that it’s the tree. 🤣

You really do have such a wonderful way with words, less really is more, when it comes to the wonderful imagery and insight you conjure up xxx

Thank you.

I really enjoy playing with the restriction of this form. I hope it doesn’t get too redundant for the reader.
