... humidity clings to the body like a woollen blanket; mosquitoes hum an unwanted whine to ears tuned to their song; the heat smashes birds to silence in the thickened atmosphere; tree limbs bow under the press of summer's heavy handed weight; these, the images of seasonal change as I took my walk ....
A write full of powerful imagery, enjoyed this my friend...the eye of the poet is much different than the eye of any other, for we see more details, we savor the beauty as well as the destruction of the land. The eye of the poet is a portal to the soul of the beholder...enjoyed, my friend write on!
Blessings,
Joyce B.
Birds perhaps use brownish autumn leaves as true mirrors that don't give unflattering images back.
But it is still summer, and nobody cares how they look, as the sun shines and happiness bounces from cloud to cloud.

Superb imagery Karla,did you get the grasshoppers too? I saw it on the news, some place in TX. they were in hordes,hopping in peoples faces,etc....stay well!;-)
Karla, a great example of how I feel right now...we've had high ninety degree weather here the last few days and my body feels exactly as you've describe in this poem. Your voice in this is real and illustrates the exactness of the images you've describe here. Great images and a great poem.
And in Texas, those "seasonal" changes can occur within a mere minute's notice, can't they, Karla?!! There's nothing like 40 degree temperatures, one month, and 90s, the next!
A very informative poem for those unaware of the atmospheric changes we endure here!
great! i like 'heavy-handed weight' and heat smashing birds to silence. heavy image too. thanks for sharing it. cheers

Summer has come to the south. can't make up it's mind up here in the north country. Yet I'm ready with screen house up for the pestky whinners of the evening sky. Lady J
The images here are very vivid, Karla. And yes, if we take the time to look as we walk on by, we can see the beauty that is all around us. Thank you for sharing, Karla.
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your sister, Barbie
