A Cooling Tanka

Especially for Karla and Karen, and anyone else melting in the heatwave. (I told you ours wouldn't last long!) I wish I could send some of this lovely breeze your way.

 


Silver Birch swaying


Gentle cooling breeze ripples


through open window


playfully blowing my hair


and refreshing on my skin

blow some my way Jackie, I got both fans blowing and I still cant keep cool. Why does it have to be so humid! They say this will last for as long as they can see.....I am hibernating I think and be out in the Autumn.
A Lovely flowing tanka.
