shimmering stillness
summer solstice saffron sun
sunrise to sunset
This week, write the haikai poem of your choice (haiku, senryu, haibun, tanka, haiga, renga, etc.) that alludes to the Solstice: (Summer or Winter), or Midsummer (manastsu) / Midwinter (mafuyu).

Stale air 
Unhurried 
Handwriting on the wall 
“There’s sweetness in the winter sunlight”
