Hi! I'm here to leave a quick review!!
Anyway let's get right to it,
OKay...well as I normally do when it comes to reviewing poetry I do have to issue a bit of a disclaimer here and say that I don't do poetry reviews normally and this is for the checklist challenge, so I will be doing my best with giving my interpretations of the poem but I don't really know too much when it comes to the more technical side of things.
Well, into the poem, these are usually one of the harder ones to really decipher given how short they are and the immediate vibes that I am getting here is oddly straightforward for a haiku, because it seems almost on the nose that this person is taking about their favorite part of the summer and why they like it as much as they do.
Trying to dive deeper all I can really think of is perhaps something along the lines of this being some sort of guilty pleasure for this person that is somehow looked down upon. It certainly makes for an interesting combo of things here. And oddly enough I think maybe this poem is meant to be simple and not really analyzed too much. Its taking about a simple time that we all love in a simple way.
Aaaaand that's it for this one.
As always remember to take what you think was helpful and forget the rest.
Stay Safe

I like it. The first two lines are really good, especially. They go really good together.
Wow! You're really good at that!
I like the imagery, and how you have really captured the summery spirit. It doesn't sound forced at all.
