Post geothermal
Planet rotation slows
Long days, long night, cold
Daily Haiku Prompt for 14 June: green leaves (North)
throughout the high months
leafage bears shades of colour –
green leaves with cold winds
Daily Haiku Prompt for 14 June: cardinal (South)
chirpy cardinal
in scarlet biretta and
cassock stakes his turf
Daily Haiku Prompt for 15 June: shaved ice (North)
thirty-six degrees
in a sluggish heatwave means
time for more shaved ice
+++
For those who think in degrees F:
ninety-eight degrees
in a sluggish heatwave means
time for more shaved ice
Daily Haiku Prompt for 15 June: hunting (South)
we went out hunting
shivering and keen-eyed for
dry wood for the stove
Wheel of Fortune
first serving for the bees
the rest for the birds

A flower, powered
by the sun, begun in Spring,
sings in the summer
Daily Haiku Prompt for 16 June: sunflower (North)
despite the rumours
they rarely follow the sun,
those orbs van Gogh knew
Daily Haiku Prompt for 16 June: clear (South)
cold clear air warping
my view through the distance pulls
the mountain to me
Daily Haiku Prompt for 17 June: wind chimes (North)
the wind chimes tinkle
as a breeze caresses me –
the ching-chings ring cool
Daily Haiku Prompt for 17 June: porridge (South)
this bowl is too hot
with some huffs this one's just right,
but the dregs are cold
Winsome melodies
shimmer in the morning breeze;
wind chimes, rustling
Metronomic light -
blinking patterns in the night:
fireflies, in flight
Daily Haiku Prompt for 18 June: fireflies (North)
lying on the ground
in silence with fairy lights
drifting like a breeze
~ You say 'tomeito', I say timahtoe; I say 'fai-ah flai', you say 'fah flah'; let's call the whole thing off and use allusion! Or write about lightning bugs:
lying on the ground
in silence with lightning bugs
blinking on a breeze
(Added 19 June:
The first haiku is now part of a haibun, "Atsushi leads the way", which you can read on Medium,

Daily Haiku Prompt for 18 June: camellia (South)
my daily cuppa
fragrant tea to warm my hands –
your blooms brave the cold
Daily Haiku Prompt for 19 June: long days (North)
dawn rises early –
dusk comes coolly shadowed to
close a long hot day
Daily Haiku Prompt for 19 June: long night (South)
insufferable
sore throat dry mouth snorking nose –
needlessly long nights
Daily Haiku Prompt for 20 June: fresh peas (North)
Gran's wisdom was that
in the art of podding peas,
no two are alike
Daily Haiku Prompt for 20 June: hot tea (South)
in my cold kitchen
the old kettle's slow to sing:
I need some hot tea
Florida's sun sears
okra and peppers ripen
fresh peas are long gone
