ah Ed i just love the way you write your haiku. this one is a real beauty! this one remindfs me a little of that popular young japanese haijin who wrote that best selling haiku book about romance. what’s her name again? i’ve forgotten.
i’ll look it up.
oh yes – Mayuzumi Madoka:
now the trip is over–
my summer holidays start
their B-side
Ed, I like the twist here, with Indian Summer — normally considered a big treat and a weather “hit” — juxtaposed (not necessarily equated) with a B-side, which is often disappointing and second-rate. Of course, a B-side can also be a very pleasant surprise.
Indian summer,
the natives are slighted…
again

Enjoyed this, Ed…
and the layered meaning.
Although Indian summer is
a “hit” for me, and I just wish
it would last…my favorite time
of year!

Spot on Myron, I was going to mention that haiku too! Both are great! ;-)
