Tropical Summer

Determined,
the sun
on the roof
like rain.
Relentless,
the heat
clawing the
windows.
The suck of
wind pulls
moisture from
the ground.
Flame and smoke
warn of
approaching
danger.
Hurricanes
of drought
as bad as
wet ones...
trapped in the
eye of
tropical
summer.

(c) 2006, Karla Dorman.

Man! You make everything as arid as it must surely be there in Texas. I pray that your drought is soon lifted and sweet rain comes to nourish everything.
Love,

Unique and unusual format and technique in this poem that jumps at reader with the realism of imminent danger or thunder in the sky.

I didn't know whether to put on a jacket or strip off my shirt and expose all the elements, Karla! Let me have my tropical fruit and rum Daquiri with one of those little umbrellas to celebrate Tropical Summer! Puttin' up the hammock between two palm trees swaying to Dorman poetic rhythm.

I believe these quirks of nature come in cycles..
Don't believe we have anything to worry about, it will all settle down, wait and see..

God Bless

Mother Nature seems to have many wicked traps for us these days; and I keep wondering if it's our own fault.
