Breezes on the shore
Cloud shadows across corn fields
Lazy summer days
Distant noises heard
Pulsing hum of street traffic
The heart of the town

A fine location expressed in this poem, and fine pic too Michael.
Thanks Orchi
At they Haikus? Did someone sneeze? Ahh-kooo! Go back to bed Orchi and think up some better jokes! lol.
I suppose the first is a haiku as it's about nature but the second isn't so the best way to describe it is 'in haiku format'. Cheers Orchi
Two very good 575s, and so true.
Thank you Andy
I like that, pulsing hum of street traffic, the heart of the town. All the traffic has been driven out of my towns by pedestrianised (horrible word) zones. The hum has indeed become distant.
Your first piece here though invites me and readily I visualise and feel the sweltering sun and stifling humidity.
Still got the traffic in the centre of my local town and more and more houses being built on the outskirts - thankfully I live in a village not far away so we still enjoy the rural idyll - but for how long? Thanks dusk
MORNIN' MICHAEL ~ Love non~rhyming 5 7 5 's 17 syllables is just enough to paint a picture ~ love them both ~ also the Red Welsh Poppies ~ elegant ! Please check my Balm in Gilead ~ Thanks BRIAN
Thanks Brian
Nice and relaxing. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for the compliment and for dropping by.
Short and sweet I found myself writing verse in between the lines of this lovely piece. Red poppies reserved for war vets here in USA wonderful work Mike. ww
Cheers Willy - my favourite is the blue poppy but not easy to grow .
Michael,
A fine write! The second verse is very relatable at the moment! Beautiful red poppies! Enjoyed the read and pic!

The garden is in full sunshine at the moment and the air is still with not sound to be heard. G&T called for.
Enjoy your G&T!😊
You see my joke? Ahh-kooo?! or you ignored it, it being too corny?! lol
Quite like a bit of hanky panky myself - or at least I did once
