Day 19 - The Last Teen You'll Be Seein'

I can't wait for day twenty...

Since the summer is approaching, and I've just finished some lawn work, I thought I'd use that as inspiration for today's poem. Being about nature and such, I figured haiku would be appropriate. Or not.

I think three is enough. Probably more than enough.

Haiku #1

The grass trimmer whirs,
But the weeds ignore its song;
I am out of string.


Haiku #2

I pull the rope again
And curse the stubborn engine;
The sounds of summer.


Haiku #3

Sweat drips from my brow
As the rake grooms the green lawn;
I miss the winter.
