# Haiku from Summer Walks **by Mariellen Griffith** A little sunshine Peeking through the dark thick clouds Hope for a clear day. On a cloudy day Pleased to hear the birds singing Birds sang joyfully. Rays of sunshine Lights up the environment Pinks and golden rays. Walking in the fog Singing birds and deer eating One is not alone. Red creeping tendrils Climbing healthy tree trunk Suffocating tree. Warm summer morning A slight breeze keeping me cool Vultures like to soar.
