Heidi Sands Poet Terza Rima

Hot Summer's Day

I hear chirping birds before rainfall
On a hot summer’s day
Humidity is thick, like a wall

Relief is a raindrop away
Tints of green in leaves so still
Ready to dance and play

The bird bath is waiting for re-fill
Again, this hot summer’s day
Energy lacking, but I have a will

To let go in the rain on my way
To the next place I belong
In this shelter, I cannot stay

There’s no room left to be wrong

Heidi Sands

Sam Kauffman July 19, 2022 at 11:56 AM The moments when a summer storm is building through the heat broken by a rainstorm are perfectly and lyrically painted. This is so relatable Heidi. Best wishes for the contest. Blessings sent on cooling wings! Heidi Sands July 19, 2022 at 12:55 PM Yes lots of humidity lately. Thank you for your kind comment Sam :)
