The desert storms will blow its winds over the sand and kicking them and churning them into tiny particles of dust -floating far to a foreign land.
The summer breeze at night cools the temperature.
The beginning of summer and warmth brings cheer from winter's old and bareness.
It is time to multiply for nature be free from the damp and coldness.
Written in a very concise manner and well penned.
Cheerio, Ritchie.

This brief five-seven-five expresses what is the rarest moment in the desert--the rain. Its very presence would be the stuff of miracles, with the occurrence of new growth, migration, and the unusual sense of happiness.

THANKS FOR FAIR REVIEW.

Comment from poetic1988

Excellent

another great poem
but to me this poem
didn't ring any bells in my head about faith
this poem seems to be
about an aftermath of a storm
and people being happy they survived it

All I can think of is- THIS must be the 'Unknown tongue' that people speak of? I do like reading these writings of yours, mainly because I now think of them as 'riddles' to solve. LOL
Let's see...
Sands after shower! (Take a shower and then hit the desert?)

Cheer lives, flow fresh dear; past heat (You'll cheer more people if you smell good- clean off the sweat from past heat?)

Wind breeze cools summer. (THIS I understand- very DEEP- winds cool the heat of summer? This is news?)

Thanks for sharing- but I suggest taking a few classes and adding a diploma, in the English language, to your long list of diplomas. Betty

One of my favorite parts of summer-- those out of nowhere showers that are gone almost as quickly as they crop up. I also loved the last line... wind breeze cools summer.

Impressive!
Although this time more preoccupied with spiritual salvation and esthetics imagery concerns rather than with taking a stand against social injustice, "Summer" is naturally completing "Winter", your other very meaningful haiku. ("Cheer lives, flow fresh dear; past heat "-compared to "Cheer, feel bright in daylight" shows a definite connection between the two of them)However, compared to "Winter", "Summer" is a lot more optimistic and more spiritually insightful (while "Winter" was more socially insightful).
"Summer" speaks convincingly, with passion and love, of salvation and healing. " Sands after shower! "- this poetical image could be identified either with the strong equilibrium of immortal Nature, not lingering in a state of heat and dryness which would make life impossible, but regaining life trough contact with water ( the feminine symbol of life itself), or with the human spirit in relationship with God, saved by His blessing (water is a symbol of purification and spiritual re-birth, as well) .
The next verse- "Cheer lives, flow fresh dear; past heat " continues and completes the same idea: having already gotten over the heat, the state of lifelessness, the nature (or man, whatever interpretation you choose) re-learns how to live, naturally, and achieves that magic connection with the Divine power above.
The haiku ends perfectly-"Wind breeze cools summer. ", coming back to the primordial idea of salvation and healing, and leaving a feeling of completeness.

What great description of summer in these three lines. I am a sucker for the pictures, I admit it, and this one is exceptional. Your piece compliments the picture, and picture compliments the piece. Very interesting sketch on summer. Was is for the "Summer" contest? I haven't tried yet, but might enter.

Another fine job here with this poem. It seems to be the perfect complement to your winter poem. I enjoyed this one immensely as well. Nice job.
