teenagers kissing
summer goodbye

This is another out-of-season haiku from the group recently published at Notes from the Gean. I had intended to post them (5 in all) in sequence, but winter got in the way.

Thank you, Dianne, John, Monika, and Kristin. I'm just an observer of these moments now, but I remember, I remember.

This would work in India...we kiss a happy goodbye to summer, into monsoon...in the US, they must be sad?

whatever, whereever, nice haiku, Bill :)

Of course, Devika, the kids never fully understand what they re saying goodbye to.

Thanks, Doug.

Time is cyclical, Devika. There will be other summers. But time is also linear. This summer, this moment, will never return. It takes many summers to learn this and even more summers to comprehend it (if we ever do).
