Sizzling Summer


Sizzling Summer

Heat hotter than breath.
Gasps squelched while sweat tickles skin,
Flop under the fan.

    As a kid without air conditioning, I remember flopping by those fans. Nice use of imagery. If this is for the contest, best wishes. Karen

    You must live near me--it was hot, hot, hot here today. Even the air-conditioner seemed to need a fan. Enjoyed your senryu....Carolyn
