late summer morning




late summer morning
the fig tree iridescent
with swarming beetles





Author notes

I'm trying to pack for a trip away, and soaking down the fruit trees and I'm distracted by this... the color and the sound.

    Short and sweet

    I'm real fan of short works but not that skilled as skilled at writing it as your obviously are. I guess it's the artist in your genes that allows you to produce such works. Very nice. I love the swarming beetles.

    Great moment snapshot.

    (for a 'ku, do you really need 'with'?) (forget the syllable count - go contemporary!)

    Have a great time on your trip - in two hours, I'll be under the needle!

      Good points...upon rereading, a dash could be used after the second line to get rid of 'with'.
      But I like it either way.

        Well, I'm all for free flow and doing away with unnecessary words that serve only to pad out the syllable count - so I'd do the 'ku -

        late summer morning
        iridescent fig tree--
        swarming beetles

        but it's only my opinion

    'iridescent' Very fancy word...spices up the rest of the words in the haiku.
