Cold Water

bubbling

against summer’s heat

cold water

sweating

sucked up by the sun

first gulp of water

ash-laden tongue

seeking coolness of water

a fountain mirage

noon mirage

vision of nectar

spilled on road

Eagle’s Flight Haiku

The weather has taken a different turn. It is amazing today. Cool blissful wind is flowing, the leaves rustling and the sky, a big expanse of white.

I saw an eagle taking flight, so hence the haiku;

gliding in the air

an angular, yet straight flight

the king of the sky

Suzushi (cool/coolness) Haiku

under blazing sun

lone sweltering traveler 

comes blowing cool breeze

feel of a cold breeze

sleeping under a fig tree

shaded from sunshine

cold water shower

after a day out in heat

a sound of relief

heavy clouds gather

after days of summer heat

cool drop falls on cheeks
