midge haze
a dragonfly skip jives
with its reflection

Bamboo Dreams: An Anthology of Haiku Poetry from Ireland (2012)
Albert Camus said, “In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.” All of us have a favourite season, and summer has always been mine. With this month’s spotlight, I wanted to capture the essence of summer in all its glory (early, mid, late), however fleetingly. Skip some stones, chase a firefly, leisurely sip coconut water, or bite into a melon. I hope you enjoy dipping your toes in the river of haiku or stop by to become one with the quintessentially blue, blue skies.
Thank you all.
— Shloka Shankar

The assonance of the short i sound goes with the rhythm of the movement.
Great Marion.
