Competition: [Summer Selen-bration] Summer Haiku

Deep and mild, fat, warm;
swelled with good rain and growing,
Sleepy bees and song.

These and hazy sun
Drunken on heat and honey;
We all work merry.

Air smells constant of
turned earth and fertilizer
and berries and songs.

The crops all flourished.
Life was richly beautiful
and sweeter than good sighs.

The setting sun baked
her shoulders like wheat freshly
risen into bread

The sweaty comfort
of her small hand clutching tight
her father’s fingers.

In her chest sat a
Certain heaviness, puzzled,
Express and too sad.

She entertained then
The thought that she could collect
gravity in her.

Collect it in her
ribcage and sell it right with the
vegetables to

Whoever wanted
to keep their feet on the ground;
then she might just fly.

Now no longer do
My hands grow and turn good soil;
Now there is but blood.

I have seen such things
And flown farther than once dreamed
Into shadows, love.

I have become a
Weightless creature, unbound yet
Imprisoned willing

By oath and love deep
Deeper than my summers gone
More than gravity.

I do not plant now.
Now, I make jaunts and jesters
Spinning holidays

Knowing we must all
Celebrate while we can yet
Because like those crops

Like those gone summers,
We will reach beyond ourselves
And find what withers.

Laugh now in bright sun
Before your heartbeat fades fast
Smile, my dear darlings.

For even shadows
Fall and fade, their glimmer gone;
We are all stardust.

*Notes: Set up as a letter to her Father. ***Important Notes: This has multiple Stanzas, I checked with Zakath.
Haiku below this point:

New these rays of light
Pushing through the tree branches,
Familar to home.

First summer I've seen
On Selen, My Arcona
With which I belong.

Atti makes a point
To train outdoors in the sun,
Meditation dance.

These days make me think
Of afternoons in the shade
Eating food with you.

Papa, I'm okay.
Smile, smile to the memories.
I'll visit sometime.

Fun in the hot sun / Thus water guns aplenty / A soaking wet duel

A burning ball of light
Booze, sleep and women plenty
Life, truly perfect.

Celebrate Summer
I don't know nothing on this
Celebrate Summer!

My glasses are dark
And though my eyes see nothing
My skin feels the warmth

Summer sun up high
A jewel in the blue sky
Resting like a crown

Hot, Humid, Arid
Frivalous, Celebration
Wasteful Decadence

Have to be outside

Roasting in heat, In I go

Behold all my fucks

Sunlight casts shadows
Shadows are good for hiding
Hide from Atyiru

Hot, muggy, no shade
Dry and sunny in the glades,
This jedi now fades

I suppose that I
can't complain about free food
Get what you pay for

Summer in Selen
Heat Celahir didn't like
Airco is broken

Why is it so hot?
It makes me want to murder
A few sand people

No sign can foretell
The raging Barabel's roar
How soon it will kill.
