We are having a blistering week in my neck of the woods, which inspired this piece-

Juicy sweat trickles down my back, the Undulating fan, noisy, weakly blows Lethargic gusts of dazed and drugged humidity in Yellow-crusted corneas, blinded by desert dust Steamy, simmering hot Santa Ana air, dragon's breath mirage, melting Unrelenting internal inferno No relief for the next week, then August arrives. 7/24/18 Any poem from July 2018 Sponsor Dear Heart aka Broken Wings

You have conveyed many others sentiments in a lovely way. I have given up on saving my flowers.

Very descriptive and somewhat erotic I must say. But maybe that's the hound dog coming out in me. (entirely possible).....The lows overnight have been in the 60's F this week. (I work at night, partly outside) Much of a relief. Very well written, especially for a Koala bear!...80).....Pat

I think our lows have been in the 70's, which gives you an idea of the highs! Thanks as always for your insightful comments, Pat!

So many areas are suffering from unusually hot weather Michelle, thankfully the heatwave here has gone but it is still continuing in the Uk where record temperatures are being recorded. Hugs jan xx
