August Morning - Haiku
Where I live in the Pacific Northwest, August can be scorching. It pays to keep gardens watered or chance losing beautiful flowers in the heat. With this scene in mind, enjoy a series of 3 haiku inspired by early august mornings in Washington.
August Morning
Breathtaking, the hills
Capture warm summer sunrise
One tree at a time
Flowering, aster
Flaunts dainty purple petals
In the garden sun
Cloudless, heat rises
Wilting flower on the stem
Pleading for water
