triumph of summer

behold September swelter

an intense farewell

Frank Tassone’s #Haikai Challenge #155 (9/6/20): remaining heat (zansho) #haiku #senryu #haibun #tanka #haiga #renga

September is that month when some summer heat still sizzles. Those of you living in the New York Metropolitan area know what I’m talking about. Those searing temperatures; that suffocating humidity: it’s like August never left! Thus, we have this week’s kigo: remaining heat (zansho).

Write the #Haikai poem of your choice (haiku, senryu, haibun, tanka, haiga, renga, etc.) that alludes to remaining heat (zansho). -Frank Tassone
