A Haibun: Spirit of Summer

Posted byJJJ Interactive BooksPosted inPoemTags:, , ,

I am loving the long, balmy days as we approach the Summer Solstice.  I have picked the first cucumber from my garden and the few blueberries that the birds were kind enough to leave for me.  I am taking almost daily trips to parks and gardens – staying local as I await the arrival of my second grandchild.  Though it is only the beginning of summer, the knowledge that days will soon be growing shorter brings forth a sense of loss.

  4. Congratulations on your first cucumber of the summer, and I hope you don’t have to wait too long for the new grandchild, Jennifer. I too am feeling that sense of loss in the knowledge that the days will soon be getting shorter again.

  8. How exciting to be waiting for your grandchild as well as enjoying the wonderful season of plenty. Cucumbers sound so delicious. I’m still buying them in the store. 😦
