Tanka Tuesday

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

summer solstice, slight thinning of the veil

evening beach delight, see fireflies

midsummer bonfires brighten sky pales

sleeping honey bees’ buzzing slowly dies

barbecue smoke flowing burning the eyes

nightly beach gatherings watching the waves

lovely scenic summer everyone craves

  2. That sounds like the kind of summer to remember. I loved chasing fireflies in the summer when I was young. We don’t have them out here in the West. Your poem describes the summer we crave beautifully.
