Your haiku quietly captures sun and shadows so beautifully, Paul. I can picture you sitting beneath the vine trellis with a glass of red. A poem that is full-bodied with dappled imagery yet with room enough to let the imagination roam. A fav! Hope you're keeping well. Warmest wishes and hugs always, my dear friend.. ~Susan

Paul, The state of a time-lapse in your Haiku. Motionless and vibrant all at once. Can there be a full appreciation of summer without a trellis to split rays into pie-crust shadow(?) -Richard

Paul Callus
Date: 4/21/2021 11:20:00 AM

I love those "pie-crust shadows" Richard, especially when leaves are shed in autumn. Thank you for stopping by, my friend. Regards // paul

Now, that's a great image! (hope those vine trellises also carry grapes for a snack, while in that partial shade). Great haiku, Paul... plus I learned a new word: mottled.

Paul Callus
Date: 4/21/2021 11:17:00 AM

Thank you for the feedback, Timothy. My vine trellis affords both shade and grapes :) ...and I make wine thanks to it. Yes, 'mottled' might not be used much, but I have several (unpublished) haiku in which I use it. ~ Regards // paul

Love this Paul. My mom used to have a grape arbor which had a place we could sit under. I love sitting under the grape arbor in summer. Lovely It brings back memories. God Bless, JB

Thank you, Judy. We still have vine trellises, and they provide some shade, too. Glad it brought you back some memories. Regards & Blessings // paul
