That is a beautiful picture. It reminds me of my grandmother Watson at her home. She wore bonnets. And it would have been nice if she had a chair to rest in when she felt the need for one. She worked so hard as many women in those days. They had to in order to keep things running smooth. Thank you for sharing this lovely story and picture.

You are welcome.
Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Your haiku is beautifully presented, Gypsy. The black
background really makes the colored fonts pop. The
image is great, though your words aptly create their
own picture for readers. Readers can easily tell this is
a summer haiku.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Comment from leather
This is a virtual six-star rating. You have a lovely picture joined up with your flawless poem. Loved it.
It is nice of you to list all the Haiku Society of America HAIKU rules, but many poets on this site are not members. Do they need all those rules over FanStory rules for Haiku? Perhaps, you could convince FanStory to include the "Society" rules, so all members are on the same music sheet.
Best wishes.

Comment from Mike Stevens
Another fine poem, Gypsy----and the weight of summer is a great way of saying it's sagging because of that instead of "you better cut back on the double cheeseburgers; look at your chair, dude!

The first two lines of this poem flow and connect well. The last says it all! Gypsy, I love the quote you put in the author's notes! As I read these words meaningful things for me are worth the weight! The artwork is awesome! Gypsy, Have a great weekend!.....Maria

Summer and garden chairs are so intertwined. Your last line is a wonderful metaphor for the passage of that season as Summer does weigh heavy in our memories.

If I sat in that chair, I would fall through and get hurt. But it made for a beautiful poem and beautiful artwork attached to it. Thank you for sharing and I enjoyed reading.
