Summer Salts

Celebrating summer through HAIKU



I. The sultry weather:
It wets my temples and cheeks.
Life drips to the ground.


II. Windows seek cool air.
While kitchen sets off dried fish,
Buzzing diablos thrive.


III. Pop music blazes.
Topless men wore caps then doze
on rooftops with mats.


IV. Summer classes start:
Coke and hankies pile backpacks
along with textbooks.


V. Shiny sunglasses
Makes a collage of black sea
of fashionistas;


VI. Pinks and yellows drape
over their arms and torsos
as they lick ice cream.


VII. Sitting on benches,
lovers await the sunset.
Twilight forms shadows.


VIII. The sultry weather:
It wets my temples and cheeks--
Splash of a warm bath.
