Summer Solstice and
Strawberry Moon coincide.
Uncommon event.

Sultry afternoon–
watching locust leaves quiver
in a hint of breeze.

Visited an old woman
who lived in her head.

Smell of an old book–
it can’t be duplicated–
it’s like a memory.

Getting such a kick
from reading old newspapers–
down the rabbit hole.

Strawberry shortcake–
nice berries, warm sweet biscuits,
and hand-whipped fresh cream.

My haiku habit
deserted me recently–
time to bring it back.
