Karen helped me on this one. :) She loves the hot weather as much as I do. NOT!!!!!!!


Poem Artwork

Denied once again, the
rain passes us by; heat
builds upon heat; the
burning season is upon
us yet again.  Will the
hungry season follow?

The soil coughs up its
dead in dust; lungs
spasm for cooling relief;
smoke the flavor of the
day on our tongues.  What
will the fires consume today? 

Cumulous clouds tickle
the imagination; failed
promises of rain linger
in the nose; the only
moisture is sweat.  We
can't buy any relief.

The mere mention of a
tropical disturbance;
hopes rise; disappointment
in heated temperatures
and tempers flare. Is this
a sign of things to come?

(c) 2006, Karla Dorman.

The heat is the bain of man's selfushness with nature. Unfortunately we all pay for the selfish and crude ones. I wish you moist and cool rain in a steady pour until man and all the creatures and flora are hydrated and healthy again.
Love and peace,
Susan

The heat waves are rising temperatures and tempers everywhere and it is affecting peoples lifes in ways no one expected. All we can do to survive is learn to adapt, how, I still don't know. Perhaps it will come to working nights and sleeping days, this was suggested at my workplace once as a solution. Good write ladies.

Great imagery you two! Very atmospheric and evocative, and truly conjures that sense of both despair and longing. Can so identify with the sense that only bodily moisture prevails... and that is not always the most comfortable or desirable sort. Provokes all sorts of disquiet and disturbance. Very well penned. May relief come to you soon! TY LOL Kate xx

"The soil coughs up its dead in dust" Oh you are waxing so poetic here Karla - very impressive indeed!

Al-Qaida declared a holy war on Israel today, so yes ... you final question might be yes!

Excellent write!

Stand Strong!
