SUMMER HAIKUS FOR WENDY J.

Wendy Johnson has set up a challenge contest asking that commenters to her blog write a haiku about summer.  [She had 428 comments as of today!]  The one I submitted was this:

Black monsoon curtains
dust devils spin to escape
enfolded, drenched, gone

Some of the others I came up with were:

Dust devils race by
black monsoon curtains roll down
exterminated

Dervish dust devils
black monsoon curtains race them
obliterate all

Promise of summer
warm fragrant breezes caress
strawberry flowers

For some reason, I forgot 5-7-5 and did some 3-7-3 and 3-7-4, etc.:
Deadline looms
fair entries still not finished
weave in ends

County Fair
dust heat racing pigs 4H
blue ribbons

Every time I visit
Tucson monsoon rains pour down
still too hot

SRPs
tie-dyed hands recording sheets
BBQ's

Monsoon rains
eradicating dust devils
withering thirsty still

SRP
tie-dyed t-shirt time again
where's my prize?

Obviously, I won't be publishing a book of poetry anytime soon.  It was fun,though.
