arid summer -
the oak by the septic tank
dips its roots

G'day, Mark.


I'm of the opinion that this is a good Haiku.

It fulfils the basics.seasonal; present tense.

And the three lines follow the requirments of:

Where. Line one. A tick. arid summer -
What. Line two. A tick. the oak by the septic tank
When. Line three. A tick. dips its roots




arid summer -
the oak by the septic tank
dips its roots

A good haiku, Mate.



Regards,

John
