Seven Modern Haiku on Early Summer by Jennifer Gurney

diaphanous mist
wafts up from the morning lake
sublimation
□
a clear freshet
bursts from my drain spout
early summer squall
□
that first bite of 
juicy watermelon
summertime bliss
□
patio dinners
with candlelight and music
simply taste better
□
so warm I open
the sliding glass door and 
in saunters summer
□
breeze wafts branches
sunlight dances on bricks
patio dappled
□
i wake to you
the promise of summer
with a lighter heart
