MY MAINE “Summer Songs” (HAIKU) by Bette A. Stevens + End of Summer Poetry Contest
Introducing MY MAINE, Songs of the Seasons—Stevens’s current work-in-progress. Summer Songs includes selections from her upcoming collection.
I am currently working on a haiku collection (My Maine Through the Seasons/current WIP title) reflecting the Maine I know and love. Here are several stanzas from the upcoming haiku collection MY MAINE
entitled Summer Songs. Hope you enjoy them…
Meanwhile, I’m planning my own Maine vacation for August and September. Company arrives in a few days and I’m ready to enjoy a great “Staycation” right here with family and friends from away… Wishing everyone a blessed and beautiful end of summer.
I’m entering these stanzas from Summer Songs into Kayla Ann’s End of Summer Poetry Contest. I invite you to visit Kayla Ann’s blog to find, out all about it. ~Bette A. Stevens
Summer Songs
From MY MAINE Haiku Collection by Bette A. Stevens
Celestial orb
Climbs the azure skyline
Ascending each day
Season of high notes
Fledglings abandoning nests
Wings and voices soar
Waves play taps on shore
Tall pines salute by moonlight
Waking stars stand guard
Loons at lakeshore wail
Campers bewitched by the sound
Sacred summer songs
Bees and Butterflies
Dipping from Rose to Lupine
Dance to summer tunes
Highlands and ocean
Bound by granite cliffs sing of
Ageless adventures
Lighthouses stand tall
Regaling stories of ghosts
From a bygone age
Steps along seashore
Toes can’t resist surfs calling
Cold reality
Golden noontide
Both natives and newcomers
Triumphant spirits
What readers are saying…
