Been a while since I posted, but I have been writing! Working on making my novel into episodes, with the goal of publishing on Kindle Vella when it is ready.
The haiku below relate to the work I’ve been doing outdoors in this summers extreme heat. Good to be back on Tanka Tuesday!
In smoldering heat
The black mulch glistens wetly
Sweat soaking my shirt
Hawks cry and circle
I point them to the mole holes
Whose mounds scar the lawn
The sun blazes heat
In the green leaf shade I rest
Leaning on the spade

Chores in blazing summer can put endurance to the test. The shade is a real respite. Good luck on the serialization of your book.
