Summer Haiku

at the beach . . .
a crab's sideways walk
on the hot sand

Matt O.

 

good surfing waves . . .
a shark
fin circling

Scott Miller

 

the waves coming in--
my sandcastle
floating away

Abbey Berry

 

seagulls squawk . . .
little kids
throw bread

Laura Bonnett

 

parasails fly high
in the sky . . .
a seagull flies by

Alayna Stewart

 

sun shining down . . .
my back
lobster red

Sara Taylor

 

the coaster tracks
way up high--
hear the faint cries

Ashley Purnell

 

children playing hide & seek,
their feet crushing pine cones--
"Ready or not, here I come!"

Chelsea Barberlero

 

legs getting tired
on the bike hike . . .
sweat down my face

Celia Brewer

 

waves lapping the shore
of the ocean . . .
smell of the salt water

Abby French

 

jungle of seaweed . . .
mosquitoes feasting
on me

Richard Bailey

 

fog covers the lake . . .
our feet dangle
in the muddy water

Emily Andrick
