Summer Haiku Poems

This acrostic poem is about making memories with summer fun. Making mud pies is fun and messy. The children in our small town had lots of fun playing in the sandbox and making mud pies when we were children.

I love the different seasons of the year, this tiny haiku style poem is about the Full moon of June, as summer really kicks in and sometimes we even see a pink or reddish tint to the moon or halo, usually meaning it will be a hotter day ahead, and also shows the power of the moon to control the ocean tides, and the thrill of fishing on a hot summer day gives a lazy, carefree feeling and a delicious dinner if lucky, that seems like something to whistle about! For my husband and two sons!

This is a poem for English 1, and it is a haiku about being at the beach.

How relaxing summer is. It is that time of the year and school is out! This is a haiku about the most relaxing time of the year.

After school ends, you think what to do during summer break. No one to bother you from what you're about to do. You walk to the balcony, a book in your hand, and sit on the chair outside, the sea breeze facing you, as the sun beams down on you. You sip tea as you turn the pages until the sun starts setting. A seasonal rarity as the light fades and you see the beauty go down peacefully.

This haiku is about one of my favorite summer treats, ice cream! I wrote it for the July haiku contest, and it is a representative of my best efforts at writing something poetic about food in haiku form.

This is my first time entering a poetry contest. This one is perfect because I'm a foodie! I think in food, I speak in food, and I dream in food! It's one of my top two hobbies. My favorite summer food is now a part of a heart healthy lifestyle for me.

I make pasta salad all of the time in the summer. My mother used to make it, and my stepdad and I would eat all of it in the middle of the night. She made hers with Italian dressing, and I make mine with Greek dressing. Both are delicious and my favorite summer foods.

Summer has always been pink to me. Defining the sunsets, horizons, flowers, and drinks. I see the colour reflecting in summer romances and in kisses on the beach.

I wrote this poem for the Summer Haiku contest. I love summer and all things related to it.

I began writing poetry one year ago at the age of 72. It came as a complete surprise to me while sitting at my computer, listening to music and looking at beautiful landscapes. I have since written over 460 poems and am still going. I stumbled on this site, and it is the first time I have entered a contest. Hope you like this one.

Nothing beats the smell of a smoky backyard BBQ. Bring it on...now!
