Written for Haiku Fridays with J-Dub.
My haiku is based on Jill’s image.

ripples catch the gold
laughter echoes off the hills
summer burns so bright

I love this Nancy. My eyes might be sweating. You’ve captured the essence of what I wish for the momma I never knew who grew up on that lake. It was three years ago that I was there in person — the trip of a lifetime. Thank you so much for linking up today.
