Notes About The Poem

July 6, 2023 ~ July Etheree Contest ~ Sponsored by Andrea Dietrich

Sultry July

Blue, the sky of morning, scorching July. Songbirds are singing before the break of dawn. Sunshine would soon deliver highest recorded temps today, this sultry summer of torrid heat. I will want a bit of shade and iced tea

Dear Lin, you capture the haze and blaze of July with vivid sensory imagery. A wonderful etheree with a great last line for a sun baked finale. Congratulations for your wonderful win in Andrea's contest. Warmest wishes, my friend, for some cooler days ahead.. ~Susan

This is so lovely. Tell me where you live again? Tea sounds so southern or so British. Congrats. I almost wonder how I didn't place this one a bit higher!!

That’s a question only you can answer but I honestly have to agree. We don’t get do overs and it’s really trivial to me.

Thanks, Michelle. I've been dealing with extremely high temperatures and a heat index with humidity of over 100.

I finally learnt what an Etheree is? You are always at your best.

Good afternoon, Jay. Etheree is a fun form, mainly requiring the correct syllable count. Thank you for reading me and leaving a thoughtful remark.
