Summer

So much sunshine! I am dripping,
Simmering in my own juices.
Sizzling hot the room. I’m sipping
Soothing water that produces 
Sweat! I long to take a shower.
Sticky wet. A/C lost power.
Say, shall we go skinny dipping?

You have produced an excellent Pleiades Agnes! Skinny dipping sounds so regreshing in the summer heat. I once wrote a haiku about it. I will bet this does great in the contest! : )

I would say this is a sizzling Pleiades, Agnes! That's how it's been over here today, accept that it was also windy, but that too was hot...and I don't have an A/C! As for skinny dipping, it's best to wait till night arrives! Regards // paul

Thank you, Paul. Back home in Germany skinny dipping would not be a problem, but here in the US people are strangely uptight about nudity :)

Thanks, Jan. The broken A/C is fiction, thank goodness. I love fall here, but hate summer - too hot and humid to be outside.
Date: 6/12/2018 6:01:00 PM
That sure sounds hot Agnes! Well done :)

Thanks, Heidi. 94 is early June is way too hot for our area.

A delightful poem to which everyone can relate, Agnes. It is very hard to escape the heat here in Florida, but skinny dipping is not an option for me. (Secretly wish it was!) Best wishes in the contest, Carolyn

I am in Missouri and we have unseasonally hot weather already. I am grateful for airconditioning (the broken A/C is thankfully, fiction)
