The Pink Summer Sphere
- By Suh Joon Kim
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2016 with permission of the Author.
Every summer, my family and I would travel back to Korea and buy the peaches in the wet market...the juiciest, ripest, and the biggest peach that would make your mouth drip saliva. In the sweltering hot summer, taking those peaches out from the freezer and putting them in your mouth gives a sensation that makes your mouth burst in sweetness. Peaches are a summer fruit that should not go unnoticed.

Peaches Haiku

in Haiku

The chill, worming in
Shock, pleasure, bursting within
Summer tongue awakes

Strawberry Moon
- By Patricia L. Cisco
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2018 with permission of the Author.
I love the different seasons of the year. This haiku-style poem is about the full moon of June, as summer really kicks in. Sometimes we even see a pink or reddish tint to the moon or halo, indicating a hot day to come. It also shows the power of the moon to control the ocean tides. Fishing on a summer day gives a sense of relaxation and joy, and if fortunate, can result in a delicious dinner. That seems like something to whistle about. This is written for my husband and two sons.

Summer Adventures In June Haiku

in Summer Poems

Full strawberry moon,
ushers in hot days of June,
high tides fill the dune,

Full strawberry moon,
ushers in hot days of June,
high tides fill the dune,

hot sun rising soon,
fishing in the afternoon,
whistling my own tune!

Picking up pebbles
Or seashells strewn on soft sand
Pure relaxation.

Everything Is Pink
- By Jessica Knight
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2016 with permission of the Author.
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.

Color Of Summer

in Haiku

Sun-kissed berry drinks,
And forever twilight skies,
Summer drowns in pinks.

Sweltering Climes
- By SUSHMA A. SINGH
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2016 with permission of the Author.
The poetic season of monsoon in North Indian plains is preceded by intense summer when temperatures soar up to 47 degrees Celsius. Heat and dust prevail everywhere and humanity seems to buckle down with languor and lethargy. To those unaccustomed to the harsh weather conditions, venturing out at peak hours may be perilous, with risk of succumbing to heatstroke. All eyes are pinned to the skies above, praying for clouds to emerge and descend down on mother earth and cool the raging fires.

Poem About North Indian Summer

Parched throat, roasted skin,
Scorching sun rays, blazing winds
Soul sizzling within!

Ideal Day
- By Suh Joon Kim
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2016 with permission of the Author.
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.

Peace In The Summer Time

in Haiku

Sea breeze blows ahead
The book flows and the sun glows
Perfect summer day

Summer Memories

- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2016 with permission of the Author.
When I was younger we would play hopscotch in the day and have campfires at night. I wanted to capture the feeling of how summer doesn't end when the sun goes down because it's a never ending cycle of fun, and day and night just seem like a difference in light when it comes to summer!
