As grass withers from the scorching heat
So brightly burns the summer sun
My sunburnt skin dampens with sweat
As grass withers from the scorching heat
Cool ice cream can make a nice treat
Remembering summer as being fun
As grass withers from the scorching heat
So brightly burns the summer sun

This is a triolet about the summer season.

The night sky paints a medley
Of shimmering red, white, and blue
Announcing the birth of a nation
Whose future gleams brighter
Than all the stars above, crying
In independence, bursting with joy
For freedom from a king intolerable
Declaring a new democracy
O'er a land filled with opportunity
Marking the spirit of Fourth of July

Freeway rush hour |
Occupied by thoughts of you, |
I miss the exit

(2)
Oh sensitive plant!  |
At my touch, your shy quiver  |
Makes me think of her

(3)
O Sensitive plant  |
A Quick shiver from my touch  |
Reminds me of her

(4)
On the store window  |
Posters of a rising star  |
Memories of her

(5)
The glass store window  |
Displays posters of pop stars |
Looking down at me

(6)
In the night sky  |
Light from waxing crescent moon  |
Reflects my mind

or

At Dawn's twilight |
The moon fades and sun rises |
Reflecting my mind

(7)
I gave you control  |
Power over life and death  |
How you let me live

Haiku on Being in Love
To Be In Love
sharpcastuser Jun 2019
Upon the arrival of spring
He waits patiently by her side
The news of a marriage we bring

In the chapel, the bells doth ring
The young groom announces his bride
Upon the arrival of spring

To mark this occasion we sing
As friends gather from far and wide
The news of a marriage we bring

O Angel of love spread your wings
Forever here, may love reside
Upon the arrival of spring

The day is marked with their wedding
On this path, together they stride
The news of a marriage we bring

A new leaf their hearts be turning
Passions no longer will they hide
Upon the arrival of spring
The news of a marriage we bring

A Villanelle About Spring Romance
sharpcastuser Jun 2019
God has hope for us in His world.
Can't let their egos get me down.
Love for him in my heart I hold.

His trust is what makes me feel bold.
Makes me wear His strength like a crown.
God has hope for us in his world.

With His Faith like shimmering gold.
In his sea of peace, I will drown.
Love for him in my heart I hold.

Time and again, we have been told.
In times of sorrow, to hold ground.
God has hope for us in his world.

Lies dissolve, the truth will unfold.
Pain and suffering are unbound.
Love for him in my heart I hold.

Without Him, my conscience was cold.
In His Love, my soul I have found.
God has hope for us in his world.
Love for him in my heart I hold.
