Not a whit, we defy augury. There is special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, ’tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come—the readiness is all. William Shakespeare

And I do think being a writer-poet is the best profession! Auguries of contentment in my life–Thanks Be to God!
I concur… TY for your comments!
Everyone loves the fall. The coming of holidays, the cooling weather. Not me. I lament the death of summer. I love the heat, the long lingering days. The late sunset. Someday, I will live where the seasons don’t change. Yes, I am that odd one. Someone has to be!
You are not odd. I like the heat too but can’t move to because of family ties and such…
I’m with you and forever a kid. Summer is my absolute favorite time.
I love the warm weather too… I do love winter wear but not the chilly temperatures. TY for your feedback Arthur.
I am impressed! Well, I should not be coming from a master of words as yourself. Having homeschooled my daughter, I deeply appreciate anyone that can Haiku. Stella was okay at it as long as it was sarcastic! My one and only was,,, are you ready?

Thank you too for your post… and I’m glad you like my post title. It’s one of the hardest to put together as I’m always trying to keep it URL friendly.
I love those sunflowers…I do miss the fields of yellow from my old home!!
Where was your old home? I’d love to have a sea of yellow flowers around me too. It is such an uplifting color. TY!
As hot as this summer has been, I am going to miss those lazy hot days and listening to the cicadas singing…may the rest of your August be peace filled, Elizabeth!
May yours be equally filled with flora and fauna of gorgeous hues.
Great haiku, apt quotes. I am thinking of trying my hands at haiku
