Weekend assignment

Weekend Assignment #127: Write a haiku saying farewell to summer. A haiku, as many of you know, is a poem of three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second and five again in the third. Simple and fun, and anyone can do 'em. You can do more than one if you want. As a bonus, technically speaking haiku are supposed to feature seasonal imagery, so we've got that going for us this time around.

Extra Credit: A picture of a fun summer activity you're saying goodbye to for another year.
Two for one:

Fat red apple falls
thump upon the verdant grass
sign of summer's ebb


scarlet leaf descends
upon an early morning
chilly autumn breeze

No extra credit this week. Words only here.
