I hope everyone is enjoying what I’m sure feels like endless summer. With record high heat across the US, I know I’ve had my fill. Thankfully it’s nearing the end. I’ve been thinking of cool evening breezes, warm teas, and soothing stews. This particular haiku formed during a walk on a university campus. I remember being absolutely startled to see a tiny ginkgo tree full and golden one day to completely bald, every single leaf like shattered sunlight on the ground the next.
This one found its home on the daily haiku website, haikuniverse!

I like your Haiku very much. But I must say I also enjoyed this ” every single leaf like shattered sunlight on the ground “, in your comment. Which I think makes another Haiku or does it?

Thank you for your comment! I did try to find a way to incorporate the “shattered” image that came to mind, but in the end felt it was maybe too startling for haiku! Perhaps I’ll give it another go as the seasons start to transform soon.
