A Little August Inspiration

The inspiration for Haiku can come from anywhere, even a walk though a familiar neighborhood.

I hope you enjoy these brief vignettes of summer. 
They are fun to compose  -- try adding yours in the comments.
 

Burnt grass, faded spots
Flowers hold their dying stalks
August heat hits hard

Lean back, feet in the sand
Red skin tingling and warm
Setting sun ends day

Sliver green patterns
Make reflections dance
Across the peaceful water
