June is a good month for haiku

    Birds, bees, flowers, gardens, water fun, occasional cool mornings--all perfect fodder for haiku and cinquain.

the neighbor's garden--
a spot of yellow
in the squash row
~~~

freshly-filled birdbath--
a dove on the ground nearby
and here comes the cat
~~~

Bright white
is the current
color in the flower
bed--gardenias, tansy and now,
daisies.
~~~

Cascades
of water, like
a lacy ice sculpture
rise behind the vested, intense
skier.
~~~

bumblebee--
the blooms it sips from
bending, bending
~~~

the mid-June rain--
in the porch swing
making my own breeze
~~~

a gardenia bloom
inside. . . its fragrance stronger
than even hyacinths
