My wife Sarah asked if I could write a pair of Haikus comparing and contrasting our contrary views of the season of summer. Sarah adores the season, and I can barely tolerate it, though this summer has thus far been particularly nice in my book.
Here is what I have come up with:
Iced Tea
Clink, clink, falls the ice
Perspiration coats the glass
Joy follows a sip.
Grass Toes
My feet push downwards,
and blades of grass slide in,
Slide between my toes.
Baking
The radient rays
Warmly caress my light skin;
Turn me golden brown!
Hand Surf
Up and down I ride,
surfing the raging currents,
gliding on the wind.
Swamp Ass
I sat in a chair,
I’m afraid I sat too long;
My ass is swampy.
Pregnant Belly on a Man
My belly is round;
and sweat beads off my forehead.
I think I’m dying…
Electric Hum
Air Conditioners
Filling the darkness of night
With electric hums.
White Guys Without Shirts
White, slim, and tattooed:
Might they be Neo-Nazis?
They are my neighbors.
Stifle
The air will not move!
The fans will do too little.
It is hard to breathe.
Head Sweat
My head is itchy.
My hair glistens with wetness.
I have the head sweats.
Yay Summer! Nicely done Hunni! LOL White Guys… is so very true. I hate it when my head sweats.
Olive,

Oh sweet heaven, these are GOOD.
I’m glad you liked ’em.
