Michelle Faulkner Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

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

July Sauna

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.

Caren Krutsinger July 28, 2018 at 4:16 AM You have conveyed many others sentiments in a lovely way. I have given up on saving my flowers. Michelle Faulkner July 31, 2018 at 2:42 PM I know, our flowers are wilting more by the day, sadly-

Eve Roper July 26, 2018 at 5:22 PM Great Acrostic & you outshine on the imagery. It's been to warm to go outside. Hugs Eve Michelle Faulkner July 31, 2018 at 2:42 PM Ironically it will be cooler once August hits-

Arturo Michael July 25, 2018 at 10:35 AM I'm already sweating...A hot poem...Nice imagery and sensation too...All the best Michelle Michelle Faulkner July 25, 2018 at 12:44 PM Hope you get cooler weather soon, thanks for your comment-

Pat Adams July 24, 2018 at 4:28 PM 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 Michelle Faulkner July 25, 2018 at 12:46 PM 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!
