Sunflowers are lovely and your words capture them in all their majesty. "A summer debut" is a perfect last line. Sunflowers appear like they are on stage and are about to perform. Excellent 5-7-5 form to create a feel for nature.

Comment from jake cosmos aller
nice nature haiku about the beauty of nature all around us, particularly the splendor of the summer months. My favorite season though is Autumn partially because it is both my birthday and my wedding anniversary.

Thank you, Jake. I certainly enjoy Fall and Spring here in Texas, Summer gets a little brutal. Sorry about the late response, life got a bit tedious around here.

You have made captivating use of your seventeen syllables in this lovely, descriptive ekphrastic piece. Nature is capable of creating majestic scenes in nature.

Comment from R.B.Bunn
This was a nice haiku. It was a fitting tribute to summer. It really feels like it's already here but it could stand to calm down the temperature a bit. Thanks for sharing!

You chose an impressive photo of sunflowers and paired it with a lovely haiku where every word rings true. I think you did a wonderful job. This appears to be a solid entry. Best wishes.

No problem, Steve. I am the only one in my immediate family who hasn't had. My daughter had it twice. The first time before being vaccinated and the second after. Everyone is healthy now.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

I love the combination of artwork and Haiku expressing the absolute awe of a summer scene. You make me wish I was outside and driving around the countryside!

What a stunning image. Too bad I can't leap into the screen and run through the field. Your words complimented the image nicely and I love the line 'a summer debut.' Regards, Lilly

A lovely poem. I love the artwork and it suits the poem. Very well written. It reminded me of William Wordsworth' s poem ' Daffodils '. All the best to you in the contest.
