Dear Michelle, your poetic imagery is striking and captures the melt of July in your creative verses. I can feel the heat, my friend. I especially love the gentle assonance and alliteration of your vivid last line for a great finale. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

It sounds as if July for you Michelle is one very hot season this year. You so eloquently describe this heat that clandestinely creeps upon you, and which weaves its way to ultimately find elusive shade. Hugs and Blessings, Jennifer.

Like 'M&M's,' these clandestine nights melt between the cracks of your fingers. Give me some cooler weather, Michelle! I'm counting on you!

This is an excellent Suzette Prime, Michelle; the hot nights topic, the way it's expressed, and the sprinkling of alliteration combine to raise its value. ~ Regards // paul
