In a sentence

なつsummerみじかい短いshort

Summer is short, isn't it

How it works

(topic) raises the topic (なつ (summer)) — “as for summer…”. The i-adjective 短いみじかい (short) acts as the whole predicate, so no です (is) is needed — adjectives can stand on their own in plain speech. The final (right?) invites agreement, turning it into a shared feeling rather than a flat fact.
