just a simple haiku about how frustrating it is to me that summertime can't just hang around for just a bit longer...

When life gives you lemons make iced tea because you make your own paths in life not fallowing behind others, true love never dies, don&#039;t give up on your dreams, if you shoot for the moon and miss don&#039;t worry because you&#039;ll land among the stars.

Yeah I love summer too but snowflakes on the grass is such a pretty thing that it probably would cancel out my wishing for summer but that's just me. I definitely like the poem!

A unit of pronunciation having one vowel sound, with or without surrounding consonants, forming the whole or a part of a word; e.g., there are two syllables in water and three in inferno.

its pretty easy. 

1st stansa: 5 syllables

2nd: 7 syl.

3rd: 5 syl.

 

the main theme is supposed to be about nature, but of course you can "break the rules" sometimes.
