Spring/Summer haiku
Poetry Contest Description
Write a traditional haiku about the spring or summer
Haiku
noun, plural haiku for 2.
1. a major form of Japanese verse, written in 17 syllables divided into 3 lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables, and employing highly evocative allusions and comparisons, often on the subject of nature or one of the seasons.
2. a poem written in this form.
The poem must be nature based on spring or summer, and adhere to a traditional 5 -7 - 5 syllable count ...
New writes but I'll accept poems posted since April 2015 on DUP. If it's previously posted please provide the link as well.
Haiku don't traditionally have titles, so one is not necessary here.
Up to three posts, but I'm really just looking for that one piece that makes me wish I'd written it.
NO SENRYU (pieces on human emotions or experiences ... There's a separate competition for that).
PM me if you'd care to help judge.

There was too much Sun
I got a melanoma
Now I have a scar

The beautifull garden spreads scents and euphemisms,
The bugs leech from the very sensible point of the flower,
The garden must be burnt in a beautifull pain.
