It’s sunny in Scotland at the moment. Two haiku to match…
Sun
Asphalt shimmering
underneath an apex sun.
Air and concrete merge.
Still
Not a leaf stirring.
Not a thrush, nor a starling.
Still, in midday’s heat.

How delightful, Matthew – your wonderful almost-summer must be here! Enjoy… and maybe you can even feel the asphalt glistening.

Thanks John. I daresay what we call ‘heat’ in Scotland wouldn’t cut the mustard where you are!
