August 7, which falls exactly halfway between summer solstice and autumn equinox, is sometimes called "midsummer day."

Love it. What an auspicious day.
Thanks, Vaughn. It was Mankh at Haiku du Jour who pointed it out to me.
oh well... it's all downhill from now on.
august, especially the second half, always evokes a certain sense of melancholy in me
In the northern US, polona, august is always interesting, if only because it's unpredictable.
For us August is still full-blown summer...we don't look back until around the 1st week of September and then everything is back to "normal"... :-)
Most of us around here regard Labor Day (first Monday in September) as marking the end of summer/beginning of autumn. August sometimes brings us the hottest weather of the year, but it can also suddenly turn autumnal. Today, for example, the high was 60 degrees Fahrenheit, about right for October.
I really enjoyed this one, Bill.
I usually wear shorts from April to October every year. Haven't seen 60F for awhile. :)
It is so hot here too...horrendously so..
Good to hear from you, aurora and gautami. May your inner cool carry you through.
Midsummer? Summer hasn't even started here this year. Normally August is all summer, not that our summers are really hot. Lovely haiku by the way, very evocative.
Thanks, Juliet. We're back to summer weather around here.
