Daily Haiku #4: Watermelon

a poem about the perfect summer fruit

Drip drip / juices flow

From sweet red flesh to green rind

To dry earth / drip drip

My toddler asks to go to the backyard and play with water: water table, kid pool, a fun little sprinkler with worms that spout water from the tops of their heads. And nearly every time we are out, she asks for watermelon. I think we’ll have to keep watermelon on hand at all times this summer; it’s the perfect summer fruit.

This poem is part of a daily haiku project I started in 2020.
