Heat

Paul Powys

SENSATIONAL HAIKU WEDNESDAY

HEAT

I see the heat haze
Feel the road burn under me
Touch hair soaked with sweat
*
* Written during an Australian mid-winter!
--------------------------------------------------------------

WELCOME ADDITION

The flowers arranged so lovingly
For everyone in the church to see.
The yellows, russets, greens and reds,
Catching eyes and turning heads.
But when a light was added to
This already perfect view,
The shadow also was created,.
Then, bless my soul, another light,
Doubled-up on the delight.
Shadow on shadow and flower on flower,
All to improve the shining hour.

I was thinking the same thing as Jennifer, but I'm in Iowa! It has been a retched hot summer!
