Just August

It is just August,
days dusty and hellish hot,
but I don’t notice.
A mercurial Virgo, 
I might change my mind.

"hellish hot" - itching adjective. I can feel it. Beautiful. Congratulations!

Your poem brought on a large smile Linda. My husband was a Leo but he had many signs in Virgo. I enjoyed the wit within your Tanka. Congratulations on your wonderful win. Blessings xxoo

Hi Connie. Thank you! Being so close to one, you know how frustrating it can be with those ad hoc changes! LOL

It is hot in August. We are having a thunderstorm here at this minute. I need to close down my computer. Your visit to my page added a new dimension. I enjoyed reading your work. Sara

Very interesting, Linda, and I loved the twist in the last line. Can a change of your mind really effect a change in the weather? If so, stop by here!

Easy enough to change my mind Milt (Virgos are known to do that you know). Changing the weather is a little beyond my skill level. LOL Thanks for stopping by! Linda
